BF Goodrich, any good in the wet?

I have them on my van, don't be silly in the wet and your fine

I always remember them being slippery. The combo was always the soft and sticky Eagers on the front and TA's on the back- ok to have the back end a bit loose

Personally i wouldnt use American tyres i value my life lot more than a set of tyres
i always buy Yokahama,s made in Japan imho best tyres on the market and i have tried plenty of tyres in my time

I too have had a large range of tyres over the years ,
Yokohama's on the front T/A's on the rear..
But due to the lack of availability and price increase in 14's I bit the bullet & went t to 15's
And found the Mickey Thompson sportsman ST's very good in the wet even whith a bit of power
And a lot better value for money..

Both my vans have BFG T/A's on the rear. I have them on the front of the WB and about to be on the front on the HZ.
I'm running 225/60 x 14" on the front and 245/60 x 14" on the rear and have no issues in the wet.
Price wise, I think they were around $200.00 each and for the look and performance I'm more than happy.

Thanks for that info.

Yes a bit restricted. How are they in the wet?

Re Mastercraft. I find they are pretty good in the wet. Yokohama's I always found the best, but these are pretty good.

There have been 3 distinct tread patterns that I remember on T/A's. The early's were small nubs and hopeless in the wet, the next style is what most us of a certain age remember and they too were dreadful in the wet. The third design was known as EURO T/A and these were pretty good in the wet. Last I looked all T/A/s now have the EURO tread pattern but have dropped the EURO name.

Google T/A tire/tyre tread patterns and also Google T/A tire/tyre reviews.

Thanks guys, that's good to know they improved over the years.

I always ran Bridgestone Steel Belted 60 which were superceded by Bridgestone Eagers... great all round tyres but the last time I bought a set was in 1999 and they were pretty scarce then.
