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.

Look great, ride and handle great.
Just restored my car I've had since 1972 and the tires are a good addition to it.
Great tires, great big price.
It's time to get a new set of tires for a vehicle I recently purchased. I guess I've been a loyal customer over the years, buying nothing but BFGs for my vehicles. Right now I have 33 12.5 15 BFG mud terrains on my 86 Chevy truck, 255 60 15 T/A radials on my 71 Olds and 69 Chevy and 245 50 16 BFG G-Force 2 on my Astro van. Overall I love the tires, but while calling around this morning, it seems that you are pricing yourself right out of my budget.
Once they got to 70% wear ...
Once they got to 70% wear wet traction went away completly. to the point I changed them out because I was close to being in acouple of accidents.
Exactly what I needed!
BLACK LETTERS OUT! 69 1/2 440 "Six Pack" Super Bee". Car was built with plain steel wheels, chromed lug nuts & Redlines. Its a wide car that SMOKES any tire you put on it. Well? These DO "Hook Up" much better than ANY brand Ive ever used. Yes I can still "spin" them, but thats NOT what I needed. Ezcellent tires. 295/50-15's No 100% Satisfied! MoPar or NoCar!
Thanks for sharing the love, 440 6 Pack Bee!

Tire Letters turned brown
I've owned a dozen sets of Radial TA's. The last two sets I bought, the letters turned brown and nothing I used to clean them would bring them back white again. I finally resorted to taking my grinder with 160 grit paper and sanding the top layer off. It worked. Back to white
Good looking tire
Almost bought something else glad I didn't can't beat the looks of a BFG
BFGOODRICH TA 275/60/15
Was very pleased with the tires overall performance,Put close to a hundred thousand miles on the same set of tires still have good tread.Only problem if you would call it one.After putting so many miles on a set is tread seperation.Its time for a new set and Im having no second thoughts on purchasing BF GOODRICH TA's once again they put all 400hp to the ground thanks for a quality tire.
always been happy with BFG
Its been over two years and no the car does not get driven much never been curbed and don't use nasty tire cleaners, been very happy with wear and aging of the tires an getting two more very soon just for the rear because fatter is better and they have the same overall height. I do not go through car washes, nor do I let anyone apply anything to my tires to make them shine.
So glad to hear of your great experience with BFGoodrich tires Jerry!

You should call them brown letter tires
I have had 5-6 sets of these tires over the years and always loved them. They ride great and USED to have white letters and looked great. The last set I got, the letters turn brown. I can get them fairly white again but they turn brown, even without driving the car! Unless there is a solution I will look into buying Mickey Thompson’s from now on
