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.

My Raised White Lettering turning brown
I have bought Radial T/A on both classic cars I won (1969 GTO and 1969 Grand Prix) and both sets are turning yellow...I clean them and 48 hrs later, back to yellowing..They range from 2-3 years old with very limited mileage, as I only drive them in Summer...What can you do to solve this issue? I am in Montreal, Canada (but put ME as State, as no options for Canada) Robert Ziwani

Check tire size to see if it matches correct hight
I bought these tires a few years age while working on my 1969 camaro SS. Now I have it together and driving it, I could not get the speed-o-meter to reed the same as my gps. We kept checking gear ratios but they kept adding up to the correct Speedo gear. So finally we checked tire size, the Goodrich 235/60r15’s are not 26.1 inches tall, they are only a little over 25 inches mounted and with 32 pounds of air on the original Chevy 7.5 rims.
Bought 2014 dated 2013, White Letters were BROWN

brown tinted white letters
Recently purchased several sets of T/A Radials and having a hard time getting white letter tires. Most all are a brown tinted lettering. Hopefully manufacturer will take them back since I cannot get white letter to scrub out. Still too brown lettering for me.

Just exactly the look I wanted
I just bought four BF Goodrich TA Radials. They look awesome! I will try to update at the first scheduled rotation about their performance and durability.
White Letters are Brown
Since the purchase of the tires they have been on the road somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 miles. The white lettering is brown. Every time I scrub them they look a little better but the browning returns quickly. Since they are on a classic vehicle we would like them to look as they should.
Brown letters
Just bought 4 BFG ta for my 78 Corvette. What a disappointment ..three of the tires have brown lettering... gonna buy Cooper cobra next time. Have them on my 94 stepside Chevy and they look great... Sorry BFG. And they're half the price.

Brown Letters
I bought a set of Radial T/As for my show car. The White letters do not stay White! After cleaning them as directed by my tire supplier, They still turned Brown! B F Goodrich is not been very good about taking care of this! I have spent Alot of money for these tires and I am very Disappointed by the customer service I am receiving from BF Goodrich! They know it's a problem and they are very slow to do anything!
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!
Great, I guess
The 4 new tires are on a '68 Camaro that is only driven 400 miles a year. Since my purchase, they have traveled 14 miles. I don't know what else to say.
