HEY! BF goodrich Radial T/As lack traction? I can't break my 97 dakota
loose anymore. With the Goodyear eagle LS and uniroyal Laredos. i'd break em
loose at every stop light. With my new 235/60/15 BF goodrich Radial T/As, I
can barely chirp them. Oh yea. The treadwear idicator says "400" temp B
traction A..

PS. it leaves a buncha black marks all over my drive way.. But all the tires
i've had do that. this one just does it more.

<< A longer warranty is an indication of harder compounds. The harder the
tire,
 the less traction it will give you on the street. Softer tread compounds
 give more traction, but don't last as long. It's all a matter of what you
 want. You can have traction *or* durability. Not both. Others on the list
 have found the Dunlop Q G/T, Firestone SS10, General XP2000, and Goodyear
 Eagle ST and GT good compromises. The BF Boodrich T/A has been found
 lacking in traction(hard compound). Haven't heard about the remington tho.
