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.
Raised Brown Letter Tires
I've tried everything to clean the raised white letter tires on my 1970 Monte Carlo. No luck. Tires have less than 2000 miles on them.ive had to resort to painting the lettering. Cant have a show car with brown letter tires. Gonna have to go with another manufacturer.
Quality
I have hard spots and out of round issues with my tires. I need to replace and not sure if I should replace with these tires or go with another brand. I just talked to friend of mine and he had three bad TA over the last year and a half. Any recommendations

Best looking and good steering tire for my application
Been buying Radial TA's since 1983. They provide great summer and winter traction, good steering, quiet operation and boy do they ever look good. Did I mention that they look great!
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.
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.
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.
Value for the money
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.
Thanks for sharing, skb40466! We appreciate you!

Great feature, perfect traction
I am so happy that i got these BFG’s weeks ago but except for the mess on the white letter but managed to get it off so happy i got it
Tire balding
I have had these tires for three years now and have put less that 20,000 miles on them. They are almost completely bald and have never actually had good traction. Never again.
