Brown Letters

My 155-80r15s are one month old. I bought them specifically because I like the bright contrast of the raised letter look. They began to turn brown immediately upon washing off the "blue". I have noticed other T/A radials that look similar, but I have noted some older ones that are brilliant white. Even some older T/A All Terrains that looked perfect. Lots of your people trying lots of different things but I am not sensing a permanent solution. I can't imagine Michelin messing with the compounding formula. How can they allow this to go on? They certainly know about it! It seems to me to be a QC/QA issue. And I am worried about what one commenter said, that they got to the point of a permanent stain he could not correct! I've tried old formula bleach-white, acetone, lacquer thinner and turpentine. I've put carabuna wax over the "GOOD" in Goodrich to see if it makes any difference. Nothing so far has worked perfectly. They are never brilliant white and they always revert. All I can do is spread the work among collectors to stay away from these tires and encourage Cooker to come up with a BFG equivalent that gives you what you pay for. On a low mileage collector car I am now stuck with these for years cleaning them letter by letter prior to showings. Good luck.

Check tire size to see if it matches correct hight

I bought these tires a few years age while working on my 1969 camaro SS. Now I have it together and driving it, I could not get the speed-o-meter to reed the same as my gps. We kept checking gear ratios but they kept adding up to the correct Speedo gear. So finally we checked tire size, the Goodrich 235/60r15’s are not 26.1 inches tall, they are only a little over 25 inches mounted and with 32 pounds of air on the original Chevy 7.5 rims.

Value for the money

I bought 4 new tires for my 1971 Corvette almost a year ago to pass state annual inspection. I have just read the browning challenges and I empathize with anyone’s discontent. I have had consumer let down on other products but I have had no issues with my BF Goodrich RWL purchase. I wish all well during these challenging times.

You should call them brown letter tires

I have had 5-6 sets of these tires over the years and always loved them. They ride great and USED to have white letters and looked great. The last set I got, the letters turn brown. I can get them fairly white again but they turn brown, even without driving the car! Unless there is a solution I will look into buying Mickey Thompson’s from now on

Browning letters

To all you proud owners of the raised white letter T/A radial, don't despair. I had a set of 275/60/15's on my Silverado and kept them as white as the Arctic White paint. It's called an S.O.S. scouring pad. Wet one and the letters, give them a brisk scrubbing, rinse off soap residue and they are WHITE again. IT WORKS.

Beware......

Purchased 4 BFG Radial T/A's in September of 2016. In 6 months and less than 250 miles the RWL's have begun turning brown. I am embarrassed to display my '66 Chevelle. If you just want black wall tires then by all means buy them but if you want RWL's showing shop some other tire brand.

80,000 miles on a set of BF Goodrich T/A

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%.

Great tires, great big price.

It's time to get a new set of tires for a vehicle I recently purchased. I guess I've been a loyal customer over the years, buying nothing but BFGs for my vehicles. Right now I have 33 12.5 15 BFG mud terrains on my 86 Chevy truck, 255 60 15 T/A radials on my 71 Olds and 69 Chevy and 245 50 16 BFG G-Force 2 on my Astro van. Overall I love the tires, but while calling around this morning, it seems that you are pricing yourself right out of my budget.

Repeat customer

Had a Camaro several years ago which I put TA's on. That made it drive and grip the road like nobody's business. Now I am working on a new project, so it was an easy choice for me when it was time to purchase tires. AND thank you BFG for still producing 14" tires.

always been happy with BFG

Its been over two years and no the car does not get driven much never been curbed and don't use nasty tire cleaners, been very happy with wear and aging of the tires an getting two more very soon just for the rear because fatter is better and they have the same overall height. I do not go through car washes, nor do I let anyone apply anything to my tires to make them shine.
