    Bringing back the BF Goodrich Radial TA in a 195/60/14

    Hey folks,

    There is a tiny glimmer of hope that BFG is looking into the feasibility of relaunching the Radial TA in a 195/60/14, which would once again give us a nice, high-quality matched pair. After asking them for a few years, I finally got a response back saying that BFG was aware of the situation with DeLoreans and that the marketing team was looking into the possibility.

    It can't hurt for everyone to write an email to BF Goodrich to reinforce the need and demand for a matched pair for our car, and that we'd love BFG to be the brand to do it. I'm a long time supporter of BFG, I've run a lot of their tires over the years and they've always been the best IMO. Moreover, I love the way the Radial TA looks on the DeLorean.

    Take a few minutes and let the good people at BFG know how important this is for you, for originality, performance and safety's sake!!

    I sent mine in as well. We should send an email the same day once a month. For example, the first Monday of the month or whatever. Persistence pays off!

    It would really be great if a vendor or two could fire off an email too, just stating how many tires they alone change out a year.

    Yup, BFG Radial TA's all came with the RWL on one side. We'd all win.

    Here's what I sent...

    "Hi. I'm the owner of a 1981 DeLorean and am in the market for some new tires. As with many things I buy, I prefer to buy from an American company. Unfortunately BF Goodrich N no longer manufactures matching tires to fit my car.

    Is there any possibility you are going to bring back the Radial TA in a 195/60/14 size? If so, I know myself and the thousands of DeLorean owners would be very excited. As it stands today there are no companies offering matched sets of the 195/60/14 fronts and 235/60/15. You have the opportunity to be the number one supplier for this market.

    Thanks and I look forward to an opportunity to purchase from you in the future.
