Looking For A New Set of Tires - White Letters


LARIAT 85

Recommended Posts

I looked at Tirerack.com and it looks like the following are available in the 255/70 X 15 size:

BF Goodrich T/A [raised white letter]

Cooper Radial G/T [raised white letter]

General Grabber HTS 60 [outlined white letter]

Cooper has them available as the AT/3 XLT.

I am also exceptionally happy with how Cooper Cobras perform.

Whats the verdict here Rick?...Any decisions yet?:nabble_anim_confused:

No final decision yet. I am going to try to keep my tires a little bit longer, and try to catch a good tire sale. (I keep hoping Firestone will bring back the ones I have.)

So far, I think I like the ones you have on your truck the best. :nabble_smiley_good:

I went with the Cooper Cobras. I like these much better than the BF Goodrich Radial tires that everyone and their mother-in-law seems to have on their classic ride. (By the way, there are a LOT of complaints on the white lettering turning brown and staying that way on the newer BFGs.) The size is the same as I had before: 255/70R 15 on Ford 15x8 wheels. The lettering font is a little bit different than yours, but I really like the look:

These tires checked all the boxes for me: size, raised white letters, and made in the U.S.A.! :nabble_smiley_good:

I have them on my 1995 Ranger for the same reason. Looks great, and performs well enough. Good call!

Went with a different option on my bullnose... but the bullnose isn't nearly as sporty as the ranger, so I gave up on finding RWL's. Can't recall why I didn't run Cobra's... May have been a load/performance issue, or possibly availability. Probably in another thread.

Thanks, Grumpin.

I never understood why anyone would buy a tire with white letters, only to turn them in?

That makes no sense at all.

I like the BFG-TA's for the tread pattern, but do not like the white sidewall letters. So I'm guilty there. :nabble_smiley_beam:

I do like white sidewalls though, like the type my truck came with new. However I haven't seen them around in a long while. :nabble_thinking-26_orig:
