I just tried to order some BFG radial t/a 235 60/15's from a few places. All thought they could get them, however each found out that BFG has suspended production indefinitely (in most of the sizes that fit our g-bodys, no less).

One guy told me that it's possible that they will come back under the Michelin name since Michelin bought them out or something.

Trying to keep my 442 stock looking with the raised white letters. Goodyear no longer makes a RWL tire, and with BFG out of the picture now, I went with Cooper Cobras.

it looks like tires for 14 and 15 inch rims will become harder to find in the next couple years, whether they have a RWL or not.

No real surprise, been getting harder to get for a while, 14's were near impossible 5-6 years ago.

I just did a little google search and the only Radial T/A from them that is dicontinued is the G-force and the Euro T/A. The T/A's we all know and love arent going anywhere. According to their website they are BFGoodrich's "anchor".
