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?

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.

I was nervous about purchasing the BF Goodrich Traction T/A on my 02 Pontiac Firebird but, after rolling the dice. THIS TIRE IS AMAZING! The ride is much quiter than the Kuhmos that were on the car when I bought it. This Firebird wants to take a turn on a dime now. Much better than the Kuhmos were on wet roads. The Traction T/A lives up to its name "traction" also, it is offered at a much better price than any other brand names. If you want a tire to get around town in; have some grip that will last, stop looking and get this tire! Enough said.

I purchased a 1969 Ford Torino 351 GT with reproduction Polyglas tires on it. I'd forgotten how bad bias ply tires were - the car wandered all over the road, the tires squealed easily - it felt like there was a brick on each wheel. Traction in the rain was scary. I replaced them with 215/70-14 Radial T/A's - a good match for the original F70-14 size. Huge improvement - much better traction wet or dry, better grip in the corners and off the line. They even ride better. In my opinion, installing these tires is the best single thing you can do to improve the handling of an older muscle car. A+. Only drawback is you have to change the old "bias ply" front end alignment settings to get the best handling from these radial tires.

just disappointed that you have to change tires after about 5 years even if they are perfect. I do not use this car except for cruise nights and car shows, so there is not a lot of miles on the tires.even with only 10,000 miles on them, and the spare never touching pavement, I had to purchase a whole new set.

Since the purchase of the tires they have been on the road somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 miles. The white lettering is brown. Every time I scrub them they look a little better but the browning returns quickly. Since they are on a classic vehicle we would like them to look as they should.

I installed tires on a 86 Mitsubishi Mighty Max PU and got an unbelievable 80K miles out of them. These were mostly Freeway miles of course. The tires handle remarkable in heavy rain at 80mph with no hydroplane at all. I installed them on all my vehicles that I have ever owned. I cannot think of anything bad about these tires at all and I highly recommend them 110%.

BF Goodrich has always been one of my favorite tire brands, but I guess all good things must come to an end. I purchased a new set of BFG Radial T/As for my '77 Trans Am, and even when they were first installed the letters didn't seem to look quite white. I ignored it thinking they just need a good cleaning. I cleaned them and got them looking a little whiter, and then put the car into storage. However, the next time I got the car out the letters were noticeably dingy and looked brown. As first I thought maybe it was just my eyes, or maybe I wasn't using the right product on the tires. I finally took the car to have it professionally detailed, and even they couldn't make the letters look white! Then I did a Google search and found that many other people were having the exact same issue. I took the car back to where I purchased the tires and they told me some mumbo jumbo about how this is supposed to be normal. Normal?! I know what white looks like. I also know that the letters on all the BFGs I purchased in previous years had white letters, NOT BROWN!!! They offered me 30% off a replacement set. I have less than 1000 miles on the tires I already purchased. Thanks, but no thanks. I take my money and purchase a different brand. They may not be as iconic as BFGs, but at least the letters will be white the way they're supposed to be!

I have ran many other brands of tires on many differant vehicals and have found no equale to this tire. The first set were still good after 75,000 miles when I traded in my 1996 Cavalier in 2001. I put a set on my 2007 Ranger and have gone 60,000 plus miles on them and still have plenty of tread life left in them, but will have to replace them soon due to in correct alignment and worn suspenion parts that has taken its toll on two of them. Overall still the best tire for any car on the raod.

I had to pick this tire to review, my car is not finished yet but 3 of my buddies have them on their cars and they look so good on there that i can not wait until mine is done so I can outfit it with the T/A white letters. A ton of the muscle cars at the shows still don't look right unless they have a set on there.
