Everyone puts 8” flakes and BFG. My car came with firestones, can’t get them. So Cooper it is. Cooper, Cooper.

I think everyone uses the BF Goodrich TA tires because there are so very few choices in the correct sizes for white letter tires. Really, TA's and Cooper. The Cooper tires have a more "truck style tread". The Cobra name is a little hokey for many folks. No doubt the BF Goodrich Radial TA tire is a garbage tire quality wise, even if they were not brown walls. They are not round, take a ton of weight to balance, have a cheap cord structure and a low tread rating. The only thing they have going for them is the correct sizes and the correct look, if you clean the brown walls every time you drive it. Way overpriced too to add insult to injury. All that negative stuff said, I will probably be forced into a set when the time comes for my TA. Firestone made a "Indy 500" style raised white tire that I really loved. But they discontinued the correct sizes for our old cars. They were very nice looking and actually "White".
