2018 BFG Radial T/A vs. Cooper Cobra

[Rktpwrd]

BFG’s for the win here.
I like they way they look, wear and track. Nothing says “I cheaped out on my car at the last minute” quite like no-name RWL tires. Just IMO mind you.



Haven’t personally run a set of Coopers yet, but I’ve heard good things about them.

Edit: let’s see if I can make that a complete sentence with only abbreviations...

“RWL BFG’s FTW IMHO.
TY.”
😅

is anyone else picking up on the irony here,people are saying bfg's are outdated and the topic is based on a 14" tire size question

Good point. For the record, I just don't like them, no matter what technology they lack. I guess I'm too young for liking RWLs at 46. I just never liked the look- too busy.

Looking at 215/70R14's if it matters. I have 225/70's on there now and they're too wide/tall and rub just slightly at full turn (!)

225/70/14's rub???

What did you do with your suspension?

Went with the Avengers also.
Happy so far, almost 1/3 less $$

than a T/A.

Another vote for BFG's. Why? Because over the years they have have become "the standard" choice for hot rodders. They get put on a lot of high end cars. It's just me but when I see any other white letter tires at car shows it screams cheap and 2nd choice because someone wanted to save money. Admittedly, the performance is lacking but I buy them for the look. If the tires were black wall then I would go for performance and value for the money.

Huh? Just put the RWL to the inside; they're not directional.

Another reason I went with the Cooper's is BF Goodrich doesn't make the tires anymore!!!

I had Cooper Cobras years ago and they are still are the market so that says something. I had them on my 74 GP and liked them.

I beleive Coker has the licensed rights to make them thru one of their contacted plants.
