Radial TA Tires

[Mopar426power]

What year did Mopar start using BF Goodrich Radial TA tires on its cars?

Never, The T/A radial has never been an oe tire for any company.

AND.... Radial T/As don't stick that great. They're not the ideal tire for a muscle car, in terms of hooking up and accelerating, but okay for handling and making dramatic smoking burnouts. I only learned this "doesn't grip well" point only recently, and thought for many years it was the better muscle car tire.

And then there is the browning issue with Radial T/As. Annoying, to say the least. I still run them just because we are limited on solid white letter tires in 14" and 15".
Cooper Cobras, Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/Ts, and BF Goodrich Radial T/As are about the only economical tires out there besides buying megabuck reproduction Goodyears and Firestones.
I keep a set of Radial T/As for go and Goodyear Polyglas GTs for show but cleaning those T/As requires an angle grinder with a scouring pad. It comes out of the T/A tire rubber inconsistently from tire to tire as well.

For years I ran Dunlop tires. Then Goodyear bought them out and phased away most of them. I switched to Cooper tires. Even though Goodyear recently bought Cooper tires, Cooper still makes a lot of decent affordable tires (cars and trucks). The NITTO tires are a good tire. Kind of a joint USA/Japan deal if I remember my history correctly.

Yeah, I too found out those tires are garbage. Expensive lesson.
