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.

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?

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 had these tires on a 67 Mustang GT Fastback 390 4 speed I had them on a 64 Falcon Sprint 260 4 speed and I just put them on my 66 Mercury Cyclone GT 390 4 speed. If you have a classic muscle car BF Goodrich Radial T/A's are the best and look great. I have 205 70R 14 on the front and 245 60R 14 on the rear for that real muscle car look.

A quick background: former auto tech and engine builder. I have a thing for tires...why? Only thing that touches the road ( hopefully ) is your tires. Why skimp? I thought I would be skimping when I purchased 4 215/70 14 Radial T/A tires for my '68 LeMans. Archaic tire for an archaic car. WRONG. The suspension is all new but not "modded", 4 wheel power drums and a stock 7/8" front anti-sway bar, no rear bar. These tires are flat out amazing. Well engineered, excellent construction and great road manners and attributes...which means, stop or go, you are doing well. The car's handling is amazing with the tires...truly, if you can drive, it's a really exhiliarating experience to throw an old boat round the corners. I know I could rebuild the suspension as a psuedo road racer and pull a G on a skidpad but why? For a sane person, these tires and a suspension and steering in great shape are all you neeed. BFG, you have a customer for life.

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 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 have had 5-6 sets of these tires over the years and always loved them. They ride great and USED to have white letters and looked great. The last set I got, the letters turn brown. I can get them fairly white again but they turn brown, even without driving the car! Unless there is a solution I will look into buying Mickey Thompson’s from now on

I am in the market for some new shows on my 1970 Chevelle SS Convertible. I was seconds away from pulling the trigger thru Summit Racing. After ready no these posts about brown letters, I think I will look at other tire suppliers. Thanks for the heads up everyone!

I have had the same experience with these tires as Dandy Dan. The letters turn brown, and there is nothing that I can do to clean them back to white; not even the best whitewall cleaner on the market will work. I have put these tires on three classic cars (which are driven sparingly), and the same result on each. Good tires otherwise, but I bought them for the raised white letters which are hard to come by these days.
