I have owned many sets of these tire over the years. Getting ready to buy another set for my dad's 66 Chevelle that he restoring. He has owned this car for 47 years. It was his high school transportation, he and my mom dated in this car, it was a drag race car all of my childhood, now its being restored to almost original glory. Only the best parts have been used during the rebuild, so why would we choose any other tire. BFGoodrich Radial T/A is the best tire available for a muscle car! Thanks for a great tire time and time again. *On a small note to the other reviews in regards to the browning of the letters. It's seems the complaint is only about the rear tires, which makes perfect sense. Doing burn outs will cause this to happen.

I install a set on my 1998 truck/SUV, and have been please since than. Great tire, I have over 50,000 on these tires and when they wear out I plan to buy a second set. Great in all kinds of weather conditions. I also going to put a set of new wheels on the vehicle 15x8 and the two should go just great together. Good job BF Goodrich keep it up.

After many years of service It was time for new BFG's with the raised white letters. After purchasing the new BF Goodrich TA tires I cleaned them up and noticed that they didn't come clean as I have been accustomed to. After a short drive I noticed the white letters were turning Brown. I decided to clean the tires once again only to get the same results. After several extensive cleanings the raised white letters turn brownish within the same day! I'm going to reach out to BFG. I can't drive this car with brownish letters.

A quick background: former auto tech and engine builder. I have a thing for tires...why? Only thing that touches the road ( hopefully ) is your tires. Why skimp? I thought I would be skimping when I purchased 4 215/70 14 Radial T/A tires for my '68 LeMans. Archaic tire for an archaic car. WRONG. The suspension is all new but not "modded", 4 wheel power drums and a stock 7/8" front anti-sway bar, no rear bar. These tires are flat out amazing. Well engineered, excellent construction and great road manners and attributes...which means, stop or go, you are doing well. The car's handling is amazing with the tires...truly, if you can drive, it's a really exhiliarating experience to throw an old boat round the corners. I know I could rebuild the suspension as a psuedo road racer and pull a G on a skidpad but why? For a sane person, these tires and a suspension and steering in great shape are all you neeed. BFG, you have a customer for life.

I've owned a dozen sets of Radial TA's. The last two sets I bought, the letters turned brown and nothing I used to clean them would bring them back white again. I finally resorted to taking my grinder with 160 grit paper and sanding the top layer off. It worked. Back to white

Have used the (P245s, P255s and P275s) /60r15 series tires on cars for many years. These size tires fit the muscle cars of the 60s and 70s great. The traction and handling are great. No one else comes close in a tire for great street driving and cruising. True for ultimate traction there are others out there but when you consider street driving these tires are Excellent.

Bought a set of lettered TA's a couple years ago from a major online tire dealer. I don't drive my 79 corvette allot. I do take it to several local shows. It seems like the letters turn brown with the car just sitting in my garage. I tried every thing to clean them. I sent photos to dealer and after several times complaining worked out a deal to get new tires. Just had to pay shipping. Guess what! After receiving the tires the middle of last summer I could tell these tire letters were also turning brown. I stored the tires in bags in my basement this winter. Put them on my car today and tried to get the letters white. I just can't get them white. It's a shame but i'm thinking about tuning the letters to the inside and go with the black wall look or try to sell them and purchase a different brand. I do still have the original GT Radial tires on oem rims the car came with. I can use them for shows but they are flat spotted and not save for long trips. It's funny those Gt Radial tires letters have stayed white even after 36 years.

A solid and historical performance tire used on many older classic cars that's dying a slow death as BF no longer produces other 50R15 T/A sizes to match (e.g. 265/255/245 for smaller front wheels). A true tragedy. Guess I have to buy Hankook for a US made car?

I am in the market for some new shows on my 1970 Chevelle SS Convertible. I was seconds away from pulling the trigger thru Summit Racing. After ready no these posts about brown letters, I think I will look at other tire suppliers. Thanks for the heads up everyone!

Like a lot of others, my BFG tires I purchased a year ago are brown white letters not white. I put 200 miles on the car in the year, so its not driving that causes it. Like others, I have tried wet sand, scrubbing, bleach, turpentine, steel wool and nothing makes them white. It ruins the look of the car when you take it to a show. My local tire guys says nothing wrong with the tires That is not acceptable. Where or who do you contact at BFG to see why the problem and how to correct?
