I've had BFG T/A's on my SPF since it was built. I'd never buy them again.

Upon delivery my vibration started at about 60 (mild) by 70 you could hardly hold onto the steering wheel. I had the car back at SPF in Ross, and they re-balanced the tires - - and it made a slight improvement. Then one day I made a tight right turn - and the vibrations became worse. I though perhaps I lost a weight... so we pulled the wheels and rebalanced. Same vibration. So we ordered a new set of tires, spent a couple hours rotating the tire on the rim to get the best starting point for dynamic balance... still have the vibration.

I though maybe it was just the balancer - so I headed off to a major tire retailer in my area. We re-balanced yet again (no real change to the weights or position), still had the vibration.

Next we broke down the tires, and tried rotating the tires on the wheels again per BFG Customer Service. Same problem.

We tried a total of 8 tires on the front end of the car - - all of them had the same problem - - when you watch them spin on the balancer - you can literally see the tire runout, and tread move from side to side (the wheels were true to .001). We called BFG again to ask for ideas... they suggested we keep trying tires until we found a good pair! As the lady on the hotline said 'Not too many tires are actually round these days'. WOW some help they are!

I'm planning to pull of the BFG's this year, maybe put them on an old street rod that can tolerate the imperfections.

I'm not sure what I'll replace them with - but I can sure tell you it won't be BFG or their high end brand!

(by the way we adjusted the steering rack per SPF suggestion, it helped to dampen the vibration, but didn't cure the issue).
