I have 4 new TA'S to replace 4 14 year old ones. The letters are very poor. Can't get them white at all. they look off white at best. My 14 year old letters look better than these new ones. I see many complaints about this issue. Wish I had read these reviews first.

I replace 4 tires on my 1997 Blazer just turned 100,000 miles with another set of bfgoodrich tires. I put the tires on at 40,000 miles and got 60,000 miles out of the tires best riding tire no noise at high speeds and i use a plow on the vehicle in the winter. would but theses tires for all my vehicles

Bought 4 Radial TA's for classic 78 Corvette Pace car. Looked great when I first got them but now the white lettering has turned light brown and cleaning them does not help. I even had points deducted at a car show for deteriorating tires and they are only 2 years old!

One of the best tires I have ever had. The large sidewall retains a nice ride, and with the proper air pressure this tire can grip very well for a street tire. On the 1/4 mile with the P295/50/R16 size I ran a 12.85 @105mph with a 1.8 60' in my LS1-swapped 1997 Camaro. They lasted me over 30k miles, which thoroughly surprised me considering the amount of burnouts and hard driving they endured. The white letters are classic, and the tire itself is very meaty, producing a great muscle-car look. I would highly recommend these tires. It's too bad though that the 295/50/R16 is currently "under development" right now (12/08/11), and has been for several months...When/if they produce it again I will definitely order some more.

I just bought new T/A Radials to replace my 10 year old ones and disappointed in the lettering. One is kind of white, another is just a brown, tar color that doesn't come clean. In the past, the came with that blue coating that protected them until you washed them off with soapy water. Now, no such luck. Tire is still good, just have to run the black side out.

Literally the second weekend I've had my car out since the tires have been put on. (Put on About a month ago) and the letters are brown. Should of just stuck with Cooper tires, didn't have any issues from their white letters. Hope you all read this and get ahold of me. I want a refund. Absolutely unacceptable for the money I spent on those tires

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!

I have owned many sets of BF GOODRICH RADIAL T/A I love the look and performance of the tire. I don't understand why it is not made in the new larger wheel sizes. Not everyone want's rubber bands on large wheels. This is an iconic tire and has a great look with the white letters. I need these tires for larger wheels for the stance and look I want on my car's and truck's. Not everyone wants their vehicles dragging on the ground.

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!

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?
