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.

Purchased these tires to replace 15 year old Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires. These are installed on a 1972 Rally Nova classic car that is shown at many car shows. These BF Goodrich Radial T/A make my classic car look horrible since the raised white letters, in a very short time, turned brown. No amount of cleaning, sanding or using harsh chemicals will make them white again. I never had this problem with the Cooper tires over a 15 year time period. They were always white and just needed cleaning with soap and water once in a while. Looks like this has been a problem for years after reading the reviews. Sounds like they may have fixed the problem now but state "all white letter tire will change color over time". Not so with my old Cooper tires. They were just as white as the day I bought them 15 years later. The only way to make the BF Goodrich tires white again is by painting the letters, which is time consuming and not a permanent fix.

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%.

The tires are hard ruber-not so smooth on the road. Being a replacement for the original tires I was told by the dealer that any other tires can afect the transmision. After I changed the BF tires I traveled from Sterling,VA to Los Angeles and the transmision failed. It may be a coincidence?

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.

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.

It was only several years after this model was released that I owned them. The classic raised white letter tire will allways be the sharpest look on an auto tire. I recall putting between 50-60k miles on mine and, the wear wasn't bad for that much mileage but, the sidewalls were starting to split.

Excellent tire. Had a set on my 1989 Camaro RS. They lasted an extremely long time with many miles. I am unsure of the exact mileage since the odometer didn't always work. But it was in the 40-50,000 mile range. They were my first set of tires I ever bought and would buy em again if I hadn't already had a second set of tires given to me.

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 used this tire on two SUV's and a pick up truck. So far I haven't found terrain it couldn't handle. It's a bit loud at highway speeds, but I've had tires that were louder and didn't perform as well. Until someone comes up with something that holds up and performs as well as this tire, this is all I'll need.
