Great tires

Tried out a set of BFG Traction 195/70 HR14's on the TD. These are the first H rated tires I've been able to find in a while. I have been running the 205/70 for a long time but choices are dwindling and finding any that handle well has been tough. I like the H rated tires because they tend to have stiffer sidewalls and do not wallow around.

These BFG's are excellent. They are firm in the corners and are great in wet conditions. My wife noticed the difference and likes them a lot. I have no idea what kind of milage to expect out of them, but they have a decent treadware warranty and in my area cost around $75 each! A steal for such high quality rubber.

Thought you all might like to know about them.

RE: Great tires

 

I've been a fan of BF Goodrich tires for a long time,especially the Euro T/A's. Hope they treat you well
