    Discoloration

    September 2025 I purchased four BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires for my classic car. Prior to purchasing the new ones, I had a set of Radial T/A's that I used for 18 years with no trouble. They performed great and looked new, but I decided it was time to replace the old tires in spite of their like new appearance. My car is garage kept and well maintained. I have two issues with the new tires: 1. Raised white letters have developed brown spots on the letters. Cleaning does not remove the brown discoloration. 2. The blue protective coating should wash right off with its first cleaning. It does not. White letters are still tinted blue in spite of being washed three times. I am disappointed with all of this, especially considering my 100% satisfaction with my previous set of Radial T/A's. I would have given these tires five stars had it not been for these issues.

    White Lettering turning brown

    Well, I researched these tires before purchasing and read that BFG had remedied the brown lettering problem. I previously had Firestone Firehawk SS20's which were 25 years old and the lettering stayed brilliant white with little effort. I put these new BFG Radial TA's on my classic 1987 Chevy truck and within 1 month the lettering has started to brown. The truck is stored indoors and is very seldom driven. When I got it out again after a month in storage, the lettering had to be cleaned again. It took me about 1-1/2 hours to clean, and they still showed some appearance of browning. I'm extremely disappointed!

    reply from Consumer Care BFG US

    We’re sorry to hear you’ve experienced letter browning on your Radial T/A tires. Sunlight exposure can help maintain appearance, but periodic cleaning may still be needed. Cleaning recommendations: • Use steel wool soap pads (Brillo or S.O.S.) with water; rinse thoroughly • Use 400‑grit wet sandpaper with water and mild soap; rinse thoroughly • Do not use powered cleaning methods Give our Consumer Care team a call if you'd like to discuss further steps. Our number is 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

    1966 Chevy BelAir Classic

    On May 17, 2026 at club %234830 Avondale store I ordered and purchased a set of 4 BF Goodrich tires with high rise white lettering for my 1966 Chevy BelAir which looks beautiful but my review is for the two techs that removed, balanced and reinstalled by tire techs Edwin and Andrew who took great care with my deep dish chrome rims with baby moons and my pearl white paint job. Their excellent work is to be noted and recognized with their display of high proficiency and expertise and are an asset to themselves and to Sam's club. These gentlemen not only performed with a high degree of knowledge of their craft but also went out of their way to explain tips that I should take advantage of for the betterment of the classic vehicle which I did and very much appreciated that and them for their InSite and knowledge. These individuals should and must be given their proper recognition as customer service representatives in the highest degree, Please look to these technicians for service to be fully satisfied with full confidence in their work and Sam's Club manager at %234830 should be fortunate to have employees of this caliber among their ranks and give them their day in the sun as they should shine bright as they should so THANK YOU !!!!! EDWIN AND ANDREW you guys are the best of the best. Sincerely, your valued customer, Ruben. 6/2/2026
