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.

decent tire
I purchased tires for a modified s10 pickup looking for better grip after the modifications. At first these tires were very quiet and very grippy. Then came the noise at moderate speed. These tires really hum a tone at 50 mph to 70 mph. The grip has never faltered but I will be looking for QUIETER tires to replace them with when the time comes. They are just too noisy
Bfg needs to discontinue this tire

BFGoodrich

Raised Letters turned brown
As of January 2016, I'm on my third set of BF Goodrich T/A's, 255/60/15. that are on a car that I show and not drive that much. The first set set were on 10 years and were great, the letters stayed white, rarely needed cleaning. The next set was put on almost immediately the letters started turning brown. I went back to the dealer, who was great to work with me and they replaced the tires. Well, the second set is no better, in fact worse and seems the more time that passes the worse they get. This is a car that stays in garage and driven to shows and cruising on weekends only, so they are not abused. I have tried every cleaning process possible and nothing works. I am so frustrated that I am ready to foot the expense to purchase another brand. I read so many post where people have the same problem. Seems to be a chemical issue.
GREAT TIRES
I've been running B.F.Goodrich tires on all my cars and trucks sense the 80's have never had any problems with any of there tires and just last year we replaced all 6 vehicle's tires and believe me my wife is the roughest on the tires of the cars she drives.
Excellant Tire
Have used the (P245s, P255s and P275s) /60r15 series tires on cars for many years. These size tires fit the muscle cars of the 60s and 70s great. The traction and handling are great. No one else comes close in a tire for great street driving and cruising. True for ultimate traction there are others out there but when you consider street driving these tires are Excellent.
255-60-15 Radial TA tires
AAR Cuda classic car. Mounted 235-60-15 Radial TA tires on front, 255-60-15 tires on rear. Vehicle is still garaged and has yet to be driven and the raised white lettering has turned a tan color on the 255-60-15 tires. The raised white letters on 235-60-15 tires have remained white. very disappointing BFG! I am rethinking putting them on my '85 El Camino. Otherwise I have used Radial TA's many times in the past and have always been pleased with them. I will recommend them with caution now. Do you have any recommendations to help me fix this problem ?
ON THIRD SET DUE TO RWL TURNING BROWN - LESS THAN 400 MILES
The Radial T/A has been replaced 3 times in 3 years due to the Raised White Letters turning brown. Embarrassed to drive my corvette with these tires, we buy RWL to give the car it's original look. The company has replaced 3 times, but this is getting ridiculous, if I could get a full refund and get something else I would.
I would these tires again
I replace 4 tires on my 1997 Blazer just turned 100,000 miles with another set of bfgoodrich tires. I put the tires on at 40,000 miles and got 60,000 miles out of the tires best riding tire no noise at high speeds and i use a plow on the vehicle in the winter. would but theses tires for all my vehicles
More sizes please.
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.
Same Problem With Keeping Letters White
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.
