Great performance, look and price!
I always run these tires on my 68 RS/SS Camaro they’re great looking and performing. Also the only manufacturer who makes a 245/60/14. And all the people giving the tire poor rating over letter coloring a alone need to grow up and understand they fixed the issue and wasn’t even there fault and they are offering to make it right with discounts and or replacements. They make tire paint for couple bucks and a few minutes you can paint the letters white.
CAN'T GET THEM WHITE
LOOK NICE AND DRIVE NICE, ONLY PROBLEM, CAN'T GET THE WHITE LETTERS WHITE, THERE IS A BROWN RESIDUE EMBEDDED IN THEM. ANY SUGGESTIONS.

Raised Brown Letters
Purchased these tires to replace 15 year old Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires. These are installed on a 1972 Rally Nova classic car that is shown at many car shows. These BF Goodrich Radial T/A make my classic car look horrible since the raised white letters, in a very short time, turned brown. No amount of cleaning, sanding or using harsh chemicals will make them white again. I never had this problem with the Cooper tires over a 15 year time period. They were always white and just needed cleaning with soap and water once in a while. Looks like this has been a problem for years after reading the reviews. Sounds like they may have fixed the problem now but state "all white letter tire will change color over time". Not so with my old Cooper tires. They were just as white as the day I bought them 15 years later. The only way to make the BF Goodrich tires white again is by painting the letters, which is time consuming and not a permanent fix.

Do not buy these tires the letters still brown!!
I bought a set in November 2022 and couldn’t be more disappointed. The letters on all four tires started browning right away and continue to get worse by the day. I have less than 100 miles on them and they still have the nubs. They are on a $100k+ 1970 Boss 302 Mustang that has to bear these tires at the 2024 Salem Roadster Show. I have already contacted Michelin Tires and they offered me 50% off the purchase of a new set, this is ridiculous and a low blow to anyone buying these tires.
PDXBOSS302, sorry to read of the browning. Please take a look at our FAQ's regarding browning tires at: https://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/assistance/faq

Brown letter tires
Bought these tires for the white lettering on my Corvette show car and I've already spent 3 nights scrubbing with bleach to try to get the brown lettering white on brand new tires.

Great tires. Poor customer service.
I love the look of these tires. I was supposed to get a 50.00 rebate credit card. It’s been over a month and nothing.
Junk
Worst tires I ever bought.. they had high spots in the middle and threw the car totally out of alignment.
The fast racer, with this tire being a tire for classic vehicles, there are many things to consider in addition to tires, that may be a contributing factor to this complaint. We suggest that you take the vehicle back to the selling dealer for an inspection of the tires. The dealer is authorized to handle any warranty issue. And of course, you are welcomed to contact us at 866-866-6605 8am-5pm EST Mon-Fri to discuss further.

Brown raised letters?
Purchased two sets of the tires for my 1966 and 1987 mustangs. What an embarrassment. The letters are supposed to be white. I tried every possible cleaner and nothing will get them white. Both sets of tires are like that. If I could take them back I would. I have advised all my car club friends to stay away from these poor quality tires
BROWN LETTERS
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN A PRODUCT BEFORE SINCE WHAT I PAYED FOR THE T/A RADIALS . AMERICAN TIRES FIRST SET OF 215/70/15 2EACH 255/60/15 2 EACH WERE REPLACED ONCE AND THE SECOND SET WAS JUST AS BAD. I SAVE AND WENT FROM COPPER COBRAS TO T/A RAIDALS AND THE "WHITE LETTER TURNED BROWN" I TRIED CLEANING THEM AND NOTHING WORKED. 55 YEARS OF CAR CARE AND AUTO DETAILING NOTHING HELPED. AFTER THE SECOND SET TURNED BROWN I TURNED THE TIRES BLACKED BECAUSE I NOW OWN THEM. FROM EVRYONE AND A INDIVIDAUL WITH YOUR COMPANY THERES A FORMUAL IN THE WHITE THAT IS UV ACTITIVED. SERIOUSLY ITS A SHOW CAR AND IS NOT PARKED OUTSIDE. PLEASE HELP I WANT WHITE LETTERS ON MY 1969 CAMARO THAT A DONT HAVE TO SAND OR PAINT. AFTER INSTALLING THEM AND DRIVING HOME IM OUT $967.50 PLEASE HELP IF THERE IS A NEWER VERISON IM INTERTESTED IN REPLACING THEM
