BFGoodrich still makes Radial TA's, Cooker just reproduces the older version.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

When I ran white letters, I always had BFGs. Decent looking block tread, OK performance. but 4k miles in 18 years doesn't seem like a good use of tires Pic from the Gilmore Museum?

bfg's never liked wet handeling.
I think you are confusing Goodyear for BFG's. Never met a Goodyear tire that liked wet weather, never met a BFG that had issues with it.
I suggest that anyone looking to buy a tire goo to tirerack.com, read the survey results. I looked up a P255/60R15 Radial T/A, over 900 respondents. Those results will be more relevant than one person's opinion.
well to be fair, I haven't seen a bfg in nearly 15 years. so they might have gotten better. but the standard raised letter ones they used to sell at super shops sucked.
and I didn't do them this time around because they were back ordered for like 8 months.

I believe that Cooper and M. Thompson are the same tire except for the lettering. I have Goodyears(275 60 15 and 235 60 15) on our E body but now are unavailable. Like the look and stance very much,,,likely go to Goodrich TA's when forced too,,,,they are rated 'S',,,only 111 mph. Cooper and Thompson are 'T' 118 mph. Have no idea on our Goodyears, but likely suck too.
Hate thinking of TA's as made by Coker,,,please someone tell us not true.
Only decent 15 inch in sizes we need are Avon's but at 500 dollars each and no RWL's.
