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.

I have owned several sets of BFG Radial TA's throughout the years and had nothing but praise for them. Until now, that is. My latest set seemed different from the day I bought them. The blue protective coating seemed nearly impossible to remove. Then, the white letters just didn't seem to come clean. These tires are on a collector car that stays safely stored in a garage and only gets driven to car shows and cruises. However, after being stored away, the lettering is now stained brown. Also, the black sidewalls are discolored as well. They seem to be oozing some sort of solvent. I've tried every type of cleaner and scrubbing method to no avail. So BFG, what gives? None of the previous versions I've purchased have had this problem. Just a quick search on the internet shows that this is a widespread problem with these tires. The irony of this issue is this. Consumers who buy these particular tires are classic car enthusiasts who take great pride in every detail of their cars. They want to take them to shows and cruises and present them as works of art. Frankly, I'm embarrassed to take my car anywhere with my BF (Brown Font) Goodrich Radial TA's on it. Other enthusiasts look at me in disgust as if I couldn't take 5 minutes to clean my tires! So my question to you is, "How can you market a specialty tire to a certain target group, yet your tire no longer meets that groups need? BTW, I paid much more for this set of BFG's than I did for any previous sets I've owned, yet I've got an inferior product. Is Goodrich doing anything to address this problem or accommodate customers, or would you prefer that loyalists like myself look to other tire manufacturers?

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.

Bought new BFG TA radials for my restored 70 camaro and within a month the white lettering had turned brown never to be white again no matter what I clean it with. Even searched out the best detailer in my city and let him have a go at it and they were slightly whiter for about 48 hours and then back to the brown. Should have gone with the Nitto's but had BFG's on it and loved them, these new ones not so much.

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 always run these tires on my 68 RS/SS Camaro they’re great looking and performing. Also the only manufacturer who makes a 245/60/14. And all the people giving the tire poor rating over letter coloring a alone need to grow up and understand they fixed the issue and wasn’t even there fault and they are offering to make it right with discounts and or replacements. They make tire paint for couple bucks and a few minutes you can paint the letters white.

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.

one full year use, 8000 miles great wear, excellent in rain great handling ..leaning is no problem..will last twice as long as motorcyle tire..mounted on Honda Pacific Coast..PC800...630 lbs..800cc type use: commuter year round, interstate, 2 lane and back roads..no race or knee dragging..

I have hard spots and out of round issues with my tires. I need to replace and not sure if I should replace with these tires or go with another brand. I just talked to friend of mine and he had three bad TA over the last year and a half. Any recommendations

Bought a full set for my 1965 Mustang just about a year ago. I drive less than 500 miles a year. The car is always garaged. The tires (particularly the raised white letters) turn brown in less than a week after cleaning. Very disappointed. I would like some kind of restitution.
