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.

Recently purchased several sets of T/A Radials and having a hard time getting white letter tires. Most all are a brown tinted lettering. Hopefully manufacturer will take them back since I cannot get white letter to scrub out. Still too brown lettering for me.

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!

I have bought Radial T/A on both classic cars I won (1969 GTO and 1969 Grand Prix) and both sets are turning yellow...I clean them and 48 hrs later, back to yellowing..They range from 2-3 years old with very limited mileage, as I only drive them in Summer...What can you do to solve this issue?

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%.

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.

As of January 2016, I'm on my third set of BF Goodrich T/A's, 255/60/15. that are on a car that I show and not drive that much. The first set set were on 10 years and were great, the letters stayed white, rarely needed cleaning. The next set was put on almost immediately the letters started turning brown. I went back to the dealer, who was great to work with me and they replaced the tires. Well, the second set is no better, in fact worse and seems the more time that passes the worse they get. This is a car that stays in garage and driven to shows and cruising on weekends only, so they are not abused. I have tried every cleaning process possible and nothing works. I am so frustrated that I am ready to foot the expense to purchase another brand. I read so many post where people have the same problem. Seems to be a chemical issue.

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.

After many years of service It was time for new BFG's with the raised white letters. After purchasing the new BF Goodrich TA tires I cleaned them up and noticed that they didn't come clean as I have been accustomed to. After a short drive I noticed the white letters were turning Brown. I decided to clean the tires once again only to get the same results. After several extensive cleanings the raised white letters turn brownish within the same day! I'm going to reach out to BFG. I can't drive this car with brownish letters.

I have always had BF Goodrich Radial T/A raised white letter tires on my Fox body Mustangs over a 30 year period. Just bought new tires within the last 2 years. And the car is always kept in the garage. They still have the "nubs" on them so the problem is obviously BF Goodrich! What are they going to do with so many unhappy buyers. I can't get mine WHITE like they should be and quite frankly for the amount of money I spent, they should be BRIGHT WHITE! I think they need to replace them!
