    Question: Anyone seen a P 265 50 R 16 BF GOODRICH RADIAL T/A lately?

    Hi all :w I've been told BF Goodrich used to do a 265/50/16 in a Radial T/A. I think these would be a good 'beefier' look on my 16 x 9.5 inch rims .... 295/50/16 would be too big .... Any advice (yep I will upgrade to 17's down the line after my rebuild) .... Thanks all :)
