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

[delgato]

I was thinking about this the other day about seeing if Coker Tire could get BFGoodrich to release a batch of front tires for our cars. They are having a huge cruise in this April 1st weekend that I plan to attend. They are suppose to have reps out for customers, so I will bring this back up to them while I am down there. Wish I had my car on the road, because it would probably be the only DMC car there... one day.

Tell them your car is not there because you can't find tires for it. Ha

This might actually be the perfect setup. Thanks.

I havne't seen them in person. but theres a couple of videos on youtube of the product. Heres one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RjKNZC9G20

Guess what I picked up.

2005, basically the tail end of the run.

Mounted but never run.

Nice find, if they were stored properly then I would hope the rubber is still in good shape. There should be cleaning products out there that can remove the black contact staining on the RWL's. I think this might be the stuff?

I really wish they would bring these tires back into production.

Didn't your signature used to say "In search of the perfect white letter?"
You finally did it!

I wasn’t able to find any Black Magic Bleche Wite, but I spoke with my vintage tire professional and he said to try Ford Motorcraft Multi purpose cleaner. Spray on dry, wait 2 minutes then mist with water and scrub with an SOS pad. He was right. They look like new.

Hard to believe I’ve been running my Cooper Cobras for 10 years now. I’m going to have my vintage tire buddy look these over then I’ll order some 235s or 245s for the rear and run them.

Hot damn.

Those look amazing dude. I'm jealous of the raised white letteredness.

Can't wait to see some pics of these bad boys mounted up with some matching rears.

Thanks mark! I’m stoked on them.

Also, look what else just popped up. Gotta love marketplace!

Lol! Only took ten years! It will be nice not painting them in any more.
