The Radial T/A molds an all-season tread compound into a symmetric independent block pattern featuring unique tread block phasing and variable groove angle geometry to provide low noise, predictable performance and year-round traction. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts (50-series sizes add BFGoodrich's ETEC [Equal TEnsion Containment] System of spirally wound nylon) that stabilize the tread. BFGoodrich's g-Wedge technology makes this the best performing Radial T/A ever by featuring the high modulus sidewall stabilizers found in many of BFGoodrich's higher performance radials (g-Wedge sidewall stabilizers increase torsional rigidity to enhance lateral stability and steering response, while delivering a smooth, comfortable ride).
The Radial T/A is BFGoodrich's Performance All-Season tire developed for the drivers of muscle cars, kit cars, street rods and light trucks looking for wide, low profile, white-lettered performance tires. Today's Radial T/A tires are designed to combine classic looks and size range with modern manufacturing methods and year-round traction, even in light snow.
I used a stock 1 1/8" front bar and 9/16" rear bar and got pretty close to neutral steering w/ just a tad bit of oversteer when I used to autocross.

Warning though, as previously stated, 15" tires are getting harder to find! The manufacturers dont care about our muscle cars. They are interested in sales and the 17'sand 18's have taken over the manufacturing lines.
