Uhhhh....yeah. Right. BFG Radial T/A's stick rather nicely to the
pavement...and the Comp T/A's stick even better. ONLY ran those on my old
Camaro. (Yes, I tried GT Qualifiers once and didn't like them...they
"smoked" too much.) ;)

Subject: Re: DML: what tires do I want?????????????????????????
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.
