Large bf goodrich tires

Does anyone know where you can buy the large BF Goodrich tires like they used to make.......I think they were like 325/60 15, 16 or 17.....they are the perfect tire for open wheels '32's..........I have some of the Hoosiers, but they don't have the square look of the BFG's

 

coker sells the 285/70/15s, but they are NOT cheap.

 

You mean the Radial TA's? Pretty sure 295/50/16's are the largest. You can still get them from tirerack.

 

Like these

 

Those are probably either 345/55R16's or 315/55R16's. They havent been made in a long time. I have had a few sets on my roadster, but they don't seem to last very long, maybe because they are so old the rubber doesn't hold up.

 

You're probably looking for BFG SportTruck TA's. they don't make 'em anymore, but da34guy might have a pair or two he'd sell. Shoot him a PM and ask. Worst he could say is no.

I got lucky and scored a "brand used" (still had nubblies) set of 295/70/15 tires on craigslist a few weeks ago. had to buy the wheels too, but selling them offset the cost. cant get em new to my knowledge so I was doubly happy to get a deal on new tires. popped them on some rallies and onto the truck, had to pull the bed to get them stuffed in there!

 

The 295/50/15 's were the largest T/A that I was able to find still offered and were on what seemed to be an indefinite backorder so I started looking araound at other options. I was able to find some 295/50/15 Dunlops at Discount Tire Direct a few months back for my Pantera.

 

I found a set of 285/70 15 at the tire factory a coupke of years back at the tire factory in vancouver wa

I recall that ET was marketing tires a few years ago, I think they called them Roadster Tires. Maybe they were rebranded Hoosiers?

 

Got a brand new set (stickers still on them) 345 55 17's BFG 's
Like on these 2
PM if interested
Not cheap !!!!!!!!!1

 

I'm surprised Corky Coker hasn't bought the tooling for the Sport Truck TA

 

Ray and I discussed these with a guy at So-Cal's open house a couple years ago. The guy we were talking to said he had bought up all the old stock of 345/55/16s from the distributor in so cal. Said he wanted $1800 a pair. And yes, they were the Sport Truck TAs.

 

M&H makes some BIG Drag Radial Tires....as well as the Mickey Thompson Sportsman Street Radials.

 

he did, as i said. they are much cheaper than the last time i looked.

Those aren't the Sport Truck TA's. Look at da34guy's coupe and roadster above and you'll see the difference.

the sport truck t/a was discontinued while bfg was still selling them. the sport truck was listed as a 31/10.50/15 or a 33/12.50/15. they transferred over to the radial t/a line as the 285/70/15.

a cheaper alternative is a 265/70/15, which several manufacturers are selling. not quite as big, but close enough for most people.

(they also sold a 16.5" version, as seen on bob rothenberg's 33 willys. he had his et IIIs modded to hold the 16.5)

 

Not so Mr Monsterflake, The T/A truck radial 315 70/15, 345 55 16 & 17 were a breed of their own.
Bought over 100 sets in my time.

 

We also were going to run the BFG TA truck tires but found out the ride was a little stiff. I think that they used 7 ply for the truck tires. I have an extra set of 285 70r 15s that we bought for our Willys. They were never run on the street. They were only used to mock up the stance of the car and roll it around in the garage. Let me know if you still need a pair? Here's a shot of our 33 coupe with a set of BFG's just like them.
I really like the shot of Bob Rothenberg's 33 Willys. He actually is running the fenders and running boards that came off of our coupe.

 

255 70 15s are a big tire. 29 inches tall and 10 inch foot print. The car on my avatar wears them.

I have the 345/16's on my car. I hate to think of what I am going to have to do when it's time for tires. They are perfect!

 

Might be too round?

 

i hav a set of cooper cobra p275/60r17 on my coupe. they have been on for a number of years and are holding up very well. coupe weighs 2000lbs and i keep 19 lb of air in them. they hav the tread pattern you are lookin for. everyone seeams to like them and they ride well. mounted on 17x91/2 wide americans they are 30in tall............

 

Got a pair of 345/55/16 sport trucks for sale with or without 16x13 halibrands

 

T/A truck radial 315 70/15, 345 55 16 & 17 is what I'm hunting......I had the 17's on the '32 I sold.......want to put a set on the coupe I have now.....I have 31 x12.5 x 15 Hoosiers on it now......but nothing looks as good as the TA's........I'm hunting 16's

 

Both a great choice, and as square looking or even more so than the T/A is.

 

I have a pair of 345/55/16 Radial T/As but I will not sell them without the 16 x 10 E/T five spokes, 5 on 4.5 BP. Feel free to PM me if interested....

 

$1800 a pr. for BFG TA's? He's smokin funny cigarettes.
Someone will tell me they're 'traditional'.

I must be getting old. I think $1800 for a set of 4 wheels and tires is too much.

 

He may be smokin PAY-O-TEE.................a bit out priced for me too

 

Mickey Thompson still makes similar sizes -
