Guest 78novaman Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 We have to get new tires on our 1997 Cougar (large RWD coupe, not the sport compact) since I managed to get a huge gash in one of the fronts. Not a biggie since it needed tires by winter anyway. What I was wondering is if anyone here has any experience with the BFGoodrich Radial T/A passenger car tires? I have BFGoodrich Long Trail T/A's on my truck and they are really quiet and have great wet/snow traction. Are the car tires as good as thier truck tires? I'm looking for a quiet ride with decent handling abillity. Where is the best/inexpensive place around town to get them? NTB seems a bit steep at $75/tire +mount & balance = $350+tax.

BloodRed Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I have used the BF Goodrich Traction T/A's on a couple cars and I have never had any problems with them. They seem to have good rain/snow traction. They work great as tires for a daily driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 78novaman Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Thanks for all the replys! I'm going to stay with my gut feeling and get the BFGoodrich Radial TA's. I have it set up with Derek to take it to NTB. He's getting me a pretty good deal on them, thanks man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
