Re: BF Goodrich Traction T/A outer edge wear...? Posted by PGAero [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: BF Goodrich Traction T/A outer edge wear...?, aaron, Sun, 15 Apr 2007 15:41:45 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My BFG Traction T/As have worn a lot on the shoulders as well. I regularly check tire pressure, and usually run them a bit higher than you (40+/-). The tires have been fine, but nothing spectacular. I suspect that they aren't quite stiff enough in the side wall for the 9000. I think that might lead to the look of under-inflation as well as wear on the shoulders. I'll have to check my records, but I bet they have about 30,000 miles on 'em, and I'll try to make them last through the summer. I'll be looking at different tires when I do replace them.
What speed rating are your BFGs? I Think they came in H and V, which might affect sidewall stiffness.
What is the warranty on those? Short of pulling my receipts, I don't recall.
Best of luck with the tire search.
