True - I wish there were more 55/15 series tires out there. The Hankooks are just cruising tires but they look great on the back of the Barracuda and nowhere near as expensive as BFGs
Oh totally, I despise the BFG T/A's. Any options other than them are a good thing.
For what the BFG T/A's cost the performance is straight up lousy. And I'm sure they know that, but people will keep buying them because that's what they remember and that's what "looks right". And 30-40 years ago the performance was much closer matched to what you could easily do with the suspension, and they were already a massive improvement from bias ply's. So relatively speaking they were a good tire then. But now the rest of the cars on the road perform much better. And it's relatively simple to upgrade your suspension with parts that are pretty widely available, even retaining a lot of the factory parts, and go well past what the BFG T/A's can handle performance-wise.
