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 have ran many other brands of tires on many differant vehicals and have found no equale to this tire. The first set were still good after 75,000 miles when I traded in my 1996 Cavalier in 2001. I put a set on my 2007 Ranger and have gone 60,000 plus miles on them and still have plenty of tread life left in them, but will have to replace them soon due to in correct alignment and worn suspenion parts that has taken its toll on two of them. Overall still the best tire for any car on the raod.

I always mount these tires with the letters facing in. I was very disappointed that the corresponding outside viewing surfaces (on all four tires) was not what it should have been; exhibiting scuff marks which were embedded into the tire surfaces, which could not be cleaned off. This is not my first set of TA Radials that I have purchased in the past and I had no issues; as I bring my car to various car shows in my area so this extremely disappointing.

Had these ta radials on 2 vehicles, and still have 2 from 2010 on my truck and see many saying side walls blow out , had rear 2 finally slip a belt which happens when tire is past time to be replaced run correct pressure and due alignments, check shocks and suspension parts they will last like all rubber tires , and also keep rotated, so you guys make great tires and keep up good work also never had issue with the white letters still look good even after 14 years and my truck sits outside in all weather changes lol

To be honest this is my 3rd set of tires on a classic car and I am not happy with them. This set seems to be a lot more noisy than previous ones

September 2025 I purchased four BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires for my classic car. Prior to purchasing the new ones, I had a set of Radial T/A's that I used for 18 years with no trouble. They performed great and looked new, but I decided it was time to replace the old tires in spite of their like new appearance. My car is garage kept and well maintained. I have two issues with the new tires: 1. Raised white letters have developed brown spots on the letters. Cleaning does not remove the brown discoloration. 2. The blue protective coating should wash right off with its first cleaning. It does not. White letters are still tinted blue in spite of being washed three times. I am disappointed with all of this, especially considering my 100% satisfaction with my previous set of Radial T/A's. I would have given these tires five stars had it not been for these issues.

Well, I researched these tires before purchasing and read that BFG had remedied the brown lettering problem. I previously had Firestone Firehawk SS20's which were 25 years old and the lettering stayed brilliant white with little effort. I put these new BFG Radial TA's on my classic 1987 Chevy truck and within 1 month the lettering has started to brown. The truck is stored indoors and is very seldom driven. When I got it out again after a month in storage, the lettering had to be cleaned again. It took me about 1-1/2 hours to clean, and they still showed some appearance of browning. I'm extremely disappointed!

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.

Same as everyone else unfortunately. I bought these tires two years ago to complete the restoration of my '66 fastback and almost immediately the letters started to turn brown. I tried the super clean as noted earlier and it worked the best of anything so far. I did two rounds with it then a followed up with greased lighting. Very disappointed in BFG.

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!
