Anybody have a reliable or possible old stock source for 195/60/15 BF Goodrich Radial TA White Letters?
Seems they have discontinued the size in that tire model.

Called this morning.. no dice..... "back ordered" as most places are..
Believe me.. I've been all over the web..
Missed out on some on FeEbay a month ago..
Old stock may be my only hope..
I called BFG a few months ago and Coker..
The size is supposedly discontinued in the Radial TA... and will not be reproduced. I was hoping to find some old stock..
Sigh..
I could settle for 205/60/15's.. which are available.. but Id have to raise our Buggy's front up to make them work and look ok.. ... and.. dont want to do that..
Trying to match white letters to what I already have on the rear.. (275/60/15)... but with letters flipped in..
Want to buy new front tires (and up it 1 size from 195/50/15) and had it all worked out until this crap..
I have some time so either hope to find.. will settle for wrong size.. or simply leave em black..
Calling all tire shops... look in your old stock..

I just went through this in September of last year. At that time I could find a BFG 195/60/15 in a black letter, but not white letter. I went with the 205 White letter but the 195 was what I had in mind when I bought those 6" wheels in August. _________________ Brian

Well crap..... I've been needing a pair of front tires. They are in good shape.. but old...
After looking and admiring yours... I was considering bout' flipin' my BFG rear white letters out and PU 195/60/15's for the front to match....

Update.. Well.. I finally gave up today.. ..
Only after the trek around the Charlotte Auto Fair Friday with hopes of finding some old stock..
Even asked Coker and Universal while I was there.. nada..
Settled for 205-60-15's.. (bought the last two)
Sure as the world.. now that I settled on 205's .. the 195's will be re batched..
Time will tell..
Rumors are.. the 205's are the next size to get the knife.. they are on back order now in places already..

Dammit! I figured they were going to do this. But I will soon need new rears, not fronts! _________________ Brian
