AAR Cuda classic car. Mounted 235-60-15 Radial TA tires on front, 255-60-15 tires on rear. Vehicle is still garaged and has yet to be driven and the raised white lettering has turned a tan color on the 255-60-15 tires. The raised white letters on 235-60-15 tires have remained white. very disappointing BFG! I am rethinking putting them on my '85 El Camino. Otherwise I have used Radial TA's many times in the past and have always been pleased with them. I will recommend them with caution now. Do you have any recommendations to help me fix this problem ?

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.

Well would have thought BFG had fixed this issue years ago. My tires are 2 yrs. old and car is garaged, driven 1000 miles or so a year. After a few hours in the sun at a car show the whole sidewall turns brown , not just the white letters. Looks like I went 4 wheeling in the mud. Car rides awesome with tires but looks awful. Should have bought the Cooper tires.

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.

I have had these tires on my off road dune buggy for 2 years now it plays in mud, sand and everything else, and to all the people who talk about the "brown" letters, they just need to learn how to clean them. I use Malco white wall cleaner and a scub brush and mine look as good as new! PS so did my 30 year old set that I took off 2 years ago.

I agree with the other reviews, the white letters will turn brown, and you can not get them white again, very disappointed, with that, other wise they ride nice, if you can stand the brown letters, thinking of trying to find a way to paint them white again

I have owned many sets of these tire over the years. Getting ready to buy another set for my dad's 66 Chevelle that he restoring. He has owned this car for 47 years. It was his high school transportation, he and my mom dated in this car, it was a drag race car all of my childhood, now its being restored to almost original glory. Only the best parts have been used during the rebuild, so why would we choose any other tire. BFGoodrich Radial T/A is the best tire available for a muscle car! Thanks for a great tire time and time again. *On a small note to the other reviews in regards to the browning of the letters. It's seems the complaint is only about the rear tires, which makes perfect sense. Doing burn outs will cause this to happen.

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 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..

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.
