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.

I bought 4 new tires for my 1971 Corvette almost a year ago to pass state annual inspection. I have just read the browning challenges and I empathize with anyone’s discontent. I have had consumer let down on other products but I have had no issues with my BF Goodrich RWL purchase. I wish all well during these challenging times.

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.

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 ?

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

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

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!

I bought these tires for a recently restored 1968 Mustang convertible that I’ve owned for nearly 40 years. I’ve tried everything to keep the raised white looking white, nothing lasts, they ooze brown. Even the black looks brown stained. The car is kept in the garage only driven on sunny days with dry roads. I owned these back in the day and never had this issue. Given all the complaints you really should come up with a solution and some assistance. Thank you.

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!
