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!

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.

A solid and historical performance tire used on many older classic cars that's dying a slow death as BF no longer produces other 50R15 T/A sizes to match (e.g. 265/255/245 for smaller front wheels). A true tragedy. Guess I have to buy Hankook for a US made car?

If you have a show car or a car you are proud of, DON’T purchase these tires! I’ve read the recommendation in the FAQ section. No car owner should need to spend hours on the letters before enjoying their car!

I have used this particular tire on muscle cars and smaller trucks, theyre great-I dint know why radial t/as get a bad rap. Go pay double for micky thomsons and I wouldht drive em in the rain,

Bought these for my hot rod, while it was being redone, The white lettering on the side wall turned brown before i got them on the car, any ideas on how to get the yellow out? without painting them?

I just bought four BF Goodrich TA Radials. They look awesome! I will try to update at the first scheduled rotation about their performance and durability.

I have purchased several sets of BF/Goodrich tires to use on my classic Corvettes and Mustangs. I don't need to consider looking at any other tire mfg. because of the great looks, performance and service I've had. Thanks BF/Goodrich........

Finally found something that will turn them white after trying everything. Try Super Clean! Apply full strength scrub with brush and wipe off. Dont know how long they will stay like this but they are white!

I also have bfg tires that lettering has turned brown, no matter how much you scrub they will not turn white and stay that way, it is very frustrating, I like everything about them, except that I cannot get the letters to stay white.
