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?

Bought 12 months ago, only 200 miles on tires , vehicle not driven , maintemce done and winter storage.. CANNOT GET WHITE LETTERING WHITE . Has brown edges not matter how or what they’re cleaned with. Car is 1965 MUSTANG. page does not show 1965 as choice for year of car

Please expand available sizes. I have 205/60/13s on an '80 Monza that are 16 years old. They have plenty of tread, and show no cracking, but they don't seem to have the grip and should be repalced due to age. I still have Rad. A/Ts on my Bronco, but switched to something else on my DD when the Comp T/A HR4 went away, switched to Falkens when the Euro T/As on my Porsche got too old. Now I'll need buy another brand to replace the tires on my Monza. I would have gone with the old Legends Car HR4s, but those are gone too. Other than the all mighty Radial All Terrain, you no longer seem to make tires for what I need.

These are on a car that is not driven everyday. The same BFG's have been on this car since 1991. That's 20 years. The tires still look brand new. No cracks or signs of aging. This is one of BFG's best tires period. I would recommend these tires to everyone.

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.

I purchased a 1969 Ford Torino 351 GT with reproduction Polyglas tires on it. I'd forgotten how bad bias ply tires were - the car wandered all over the road, the tires squealed easily - it felt like there was a brick on each wheel. Traction in the rain was scary. I replaced them with 215/70-14 Radial T/A's - a good match for the original F70-14 size. Huge improvement - much better traction wet or dry, better grip in the corners and off the line. They even ride better. In my opinion, installing these tires is the best single thing you can do to improve the handling of an older muscle car. A+. Only drawback is you have to change the old "bias ply" front end alignment settings to get the best handling from these radial tires.

Had these ta radials on 2 vehicles, and still have 2 from 2010 on my truck and see many saying side walls blow out , had rear 2 finally slip a belt which happens when tire is past time to be replaced run correct pressure and due alignments, check shocks and suspension parts they will last like all rubber tires , and also keep rotated, so you guys make great tires and keep up good work also never had issue with the white letters still look good even after 14 years and my truck sits outside in all weather changes lol

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.

After many years of service It was time for new BFG's with the raised white letters. After purchasing the new BF Goodrich TA tires I cleaned them up and noticed that they didn't come clean as I have been accustomed to. After a short drive I noticed the white letters were turning Brown. I decided to clean the tires once again only to get the same results. After several extensive cleanings the raised white letters turn brownish within the same day! I'm going to reach out to BFG. I can't drive this car with brownish letters.
