Tire opinions
Is the BFGoodrich Commercial T/A All Season a good tire? After I think I finally got my leak resolved, mildew killed and tanks de-stunk I started "moving in" and noticed the tires have slight cracking...

We recently looked at
Goodyear Wrangler
BFG TA
Firestone Transforce
Bridgestone R250
We went with R250 because it's derived from heavy duty tires, but of the three above, I'd rank them
1. TransForce
2. TA
3. Wrangler
You didn't ask, but I believe you can get Michelin LTX M/S2 for around the price that some shops charge for the three above. Michelin XPS Ribs are going to cost significantly more.
And FYI, the very best price deal I found was on TransForce.

Four of the Bridgestone's we replaced were made 2007, and had no sidewall cracking. Plenty of tread, too, broke my heart... The other two were Bridgestone V-Steel, same general type of tire as R250, but made 2004. They looked good at the sidewalls, but cracks were forming in the circumference of the tread grooves. Good tread, but I felt they were ready to come apart. THAT led us to replace all six.
So... Seven years in Texas... Good tires for a farm truck or wagon. Somebody'd love to have them. Just not an RV'er.
