What does the t/a symbol on tires mean?

I’m shopping for new car tires and noticed that many have the letters T/A on them. What does T/A stand for on car tires?

Glad you hear you’re staying on top of tire shopping! It’s something that can be so easy to put off.
Tire brand BFGoodrich uses T/A as an abbreviation for Trans Am. This is simply the name for the tire company’s performance tires that have been popular for over 50 years.
