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!

White letters turned brown shortly after purchase. Tried cleaning with various products, will not come to white again. Car stays in garage and goes into trailer for shows. Lately have not gone anywhere with it, too embarrassed. Looking for another tire brand.

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 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.

Please expand available sizes. I have 205/60/13s on an '80 Monza that are 16 years old. They have plenty of tread, and show no cracking, but they don't seem to have the grip and should be repalced due to age. I still have Rad. A/Ts on my Bronco, but switched to something else on my DD when the Comp T/A HR4 went away, switched to Falkens when the Euro T/As on my Porsche got too old. Now I'll need buy another brand to replace the tires on my Monza. I would have gone with the old Legends Car HR4s, but those are gone too. Other than the all mighty Radial All Terrain, you no longer seem to make tires for what I need.

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!

Was very pleased with the tires overall performance,Put close to a hundred thousand miles on the same set of tires still have good tread.Only problem if you would call it one.After putting so many miles on a set is tread seperation.Its time for a new set and Im having no second thoughts on purchasing BF GOODRICH TA's once again they put all 400hp to the ground thanks for a quality tire.

I bought 4 new BF Goodrich Radial TA's for my rotisserie restored 68 Camaro in 2015. The car is garaged 100% of the time, never once seen rain or even a wet road. I have now only put 8000 miles on it since the restoration. The letters will not come clean no matter what I do. It is an embarrassment at any car show when you hear things like " beautiful car, you would think the owner would take the time to clean the tires" I have ran TA radials on the car for decades as i have always liked the tires but I guess it's time to find another brand.

I have had these tires on my off road dune buggy for 2 years now it plays in mud, sand and everything else, and to all the people who talk about the "brown" letters, they just need to learn how to clean them. I use Malco white wall cleaner and a scub brush and mine look as good as new! PS so did my 30 year old set that I took off 2 years ago.
