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.

I have 4 new TA'S to replace 4 14 year old ones. The letters are very poor. Can't get them white at all. they look off white at best. My 14 year old letters look better than these new ones. I see many complaints about this issue. Wish I had read these reviews first.

Its been over two years and no the car does not get driven much never been curbed and don't use nasty tire cleaners, been very happy with wear and aging of the tires an getting two more very soon just for the rear because fatter is better and they have the same overall height. I do not go through car washes, nor do I let anyone apply anything to my tires to make them shine.

I've owned a dozen sets of Radial TA's. The last two sets I bought, the letters turned brown and nothing I used to clean them would bring them back white again. I finally resorted to taking my grinder with 160 grit paper and sanding the top layer off. It worked. Back to white

I have a 91 Chevy Caprice that came with a new set of these tires when I bought it. Over 40k miles of daily driving in all types of weather later, they still have plenty of tread left. They have also been wearing quite well despite my not keeping up with rotating the tires. Even in rain and snow the traction and handling have been excelent. When its time for new tires I will defently put another set of these on the Caprice.

It's time to get a new set of tires for a vehicle I recently purchased. I guess I've been a loyal customer over the years, buying nothing but BFGs for my vehicles. Right now I have 33 12.5 15 BFG mud terrains on my 86 Chevy truck, 255 60 15 T/A radials on my 71 Olds and 69 Chevy and 245 50 16 BFG G-Force 2 on my Astro van. Overall I love the tires, but while calling around this morning, it seems that you are pricing yourself right out of my budget.

Purchased two sets of the tires for my 1966 and 1987 mustangs. What an embarrassment. The letters are supposed to be white. I tried every possible cleaner and nothing will get them white. Both sets of tires are like that. If I could take them back I would. I have advised all my car club friends to stay away from these poor quality tires

I've been running B.F.Goodrich tires on all my cars and trucks sense the 80's have never had any problems with any of there tires and just last year we replaced all 6 vehicle's tires and believe me my wife is the roughest on the tires of the cars she drives.

This looks to be an awsome tire but it's only getting 1 star becasue the biggest rim they make it for is a "16 rim when most modern cars are coming with 17-20" rims from the factory. These would look great on any 2005-2012 Charger or Challenger but won't be available anyime soon says BFG!

Like a lot of others, my BFG tires I purchased a year ago are brown white letters not white. I put 200 miles on the car in the year, so its not driving that causes it. Like others, I have tried wet sand, scrubbing, bleach, turpentine, steel wool and nothing makes them white. It ruins the look of the car when you take it to a show. My local tire guys says nothing wrong with the tires That is not acceptable. Where or who do you contact at BFG to see why the problem and how to correct?
