Part of the problem with raised white letter tires is that the letters should probably match, no? LOL.

I'll post pics again of the other size and then see what you all think.

My only complaint with BFG TA's are that after 6-7 years they seem to grow baseball sized knots on either the sidewall or the tread. Luckily it's always happened to me while sitting in the garage. They are passed their expected life span anyway, and the BFG TA's are cheap to buy when you compare other brands, so it's not really a complaint, just something I've noticed.
Nice thing about the BFG TA's are that they still offer the oddball and hard to find sizes, with still a fair selection even in the 14's while other brands have eliminated alot of sizes from the lineup. That's one reason you see them used alot. Another is the appearance, they are a good looking tread design.
As far as traction, I've never noticed any ill handling characteristics, and I haven't noticed that they spin on dry pavement anymore than most other rock hard street radials I've used. If it's straight line traction you are most concerned with, then you likely either need a drag radial, or your suspension needs some tweaking with pinion angle, instant center changes, and some adjustable shocks. If we can make little F70-14 bias plys run 1.8 60 foot times years ago (they are even quicker now in the pure stock class) with minor suspension tweaks, then there shouldn't be much of a problem with a big 275-60/15's on the street.
As far as wet roads, we don't see that often here in AZ but on the occasion where I've been caught, driving at reasonable speeds hasn't produced any strange handling. As far as cornerning, we have alot of fun mountain terrain around here with switchbacks. The car does fine but if I were really interested in "getting after it" on the twisties I'd likely choose a completely different wheel with less sidewall and a different suspension setup. I think for most situations, and most people using their cars in a somewhat normal fassion, the BFG TA's get the job done. That doesn't mean I won't try other tires if the size is offered in what I'm looking for. I've run and currently have in the stable, Kuhmo's, BFG TA's. Mickey Thompson drag radials and Baja Claws, Michelin, Uniroryal, BFG Comp TA's, Firestone, and Goodyear reproduction F70-14 bias ply's. By far my favorite tire are the Michelins. Unfortunately they are limited in their tire size offerings, mainly catering to the new car market.

I have 2 sets of BFG TA's on my cars and they are at least 8-9 years old and have not developed any "knots". Still using them. They do last a long time. Can't say I'm that impressed by the tread, but the sidewall appearance and lettering look good and have stayed white, with the help of some Wesley's Blechewite.

Wish Firestone still made the 15" Firehawks. They were the best 15" RWL tire I've ever had. Much better handling than the BFG's and Uniroyals I've had. Didn't particularly like the "Indy 500" lettering on them, but still would buy it for its better construction and tread.

I remember the 15" Firehawks from Firestone. Oddly enough, I run Firestone 10 ply tires for my old truck with the odd size 16.5" rims. Kind of funny they killed the 15" line but still produce the 16.5's, but I understand why. 16.5's are still hot sellers for motor homes and other large equipment around here.
