Review Summary
The tires provide good performance, handling, and traction, especially on dry and wet roads. Customers praise the stability, comfort, and low noise levels. However, a recurring issue is the tendency of the white lettering to turn brown over time, even with light use, which many find unacceptable. Some report faster-than-expected wear, durability concerns, and poor value. Overall, the tires offer a good driving experience, but the browning lettering is a significant drawback.

Browning Issue Update
I wrote a review about a year ago. Still having browning issues with the tires. Contacted BFG for another case number. My tire dealer talked to them and the best they will do is me paying 30% to replace this set. Based on the continuing negative reviews on these tires and the advise from my dealer, I will just try to clean them the best I can. I use a product called Spray Nine which is a degreaser. Wet a small portion of a towel and rub the letters only. It does clean them up , for a while. The browning does return. I hate to do it but I may have to turn the black wall out. I can’t believe BFG continues to sell a tire that has this problem.
White letters are still not white
I just bought new T/A Radials to replace my 10 year old ones and disappointed in the lettering. One is kind of white, another is just a brown, tar color that doesn't come clean. In the past, the came with that blue coating that protected them until you washed them off with soapy water. Now, no such luck. Tire is still good, just have to run the black side out.
Raised Brown Letters? What’s goin on here?
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!
Browning letters
To all you proud owners of the raised white letter T/A radial, don't despair. I had a set of 275/60/15's on my Silverado and kept them as white as the Arctic White paint. It's called an S.O.S. scouring pad. Wet one and the letters, give them a brisk scrubbing, rinse off soap residue and they are WHITE again. IT WORKS.
nice tire
Bought these 4 T/A last year to put on a 1970 corvette and could never get the letters to go white , this is not my 1st set but no go on the yellow brownish letters , disappointed.

Look is spot on
Excellent tires for my '80 Corvette
These were on a 1970 ...
These were on a 1970 dodge charger r/t,and once I put them on, it was like riding on a cloud. I looked down at my spedometer, and realized I was doing 85mph.
