1978-1982 C3 BFGoodrich Radial T/A All-Season Tire 225/70R15
The Radial T/A is BFGoodrich's Performance All-Season tire developed for the drivers looking for wide, low profile, white-lettered performance tires. Today's Radial T/A tires are designed to combine classic looks with modern manufacturing methods and year-round traction, even in light snow.
The Radial T/A molds an all-season tread compound into a symmetric independent block pattern featuring unique tread block phasing and variable groove angle geometry to provide low noise, predictable performance and year-round traction for your Corvette. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts (50-series sizes add BFGoodrich's ETEC [Equal TEnsion Containment] System of spirally wound nylon) that stabilize the tread.
BFGoodrich's g-Wedge technology makes this the best performing Radial T/A ever by featuring the high modulus sidewall stabilizers found in many of BFGoodrich's higher performance radials (g-Wedge sidewall stabilizers increase torsional rigidity to enhance lateral stability and steering response, while delivering a smooth, comfortable ride).
