And talking about old tires, I had a pair of 235/60/15 BF Goodriches on the front of my 64 Polara. Tread popped off the left front tire while the car was sitting in the garage. They looked brand new, but when I checked the date code and also the bill of sale, I found out they were 20 years old!
Other than that experience with 20 year old tires, I never had a problem with the BFGs. The TAs got to be really hard to get a while back, which is the reason I switched to Falken.
