Review Summary
The tires provide excellent handling, stability, and traction, even in wet conditions. Many customers have used them on classic and muscle cars for years with great satisfaction. However, a common complaint is that the raised white letters on the tires tend to turn brown over time, despite cleaning efforts, which may be a deterrent for some customers.

White Lettering turning brown
Well, I researched these tires before purchasing and read that BFG had remedied the brown lettering problem. I previously had Firestone Firehawk SS20's which were 25 years old and the lettering stayed brilliant white with little effort. I put these new BFG Radial TA's on my classic 1987 Chevy truck and within 1 month the lettering has started to brown. The truck is stored indoors and is very seldom driven. When I got it out again after a month in storage, the lettering had to be cleaned again. It took me about 1-1/2 hours to clean, and they still showed some appearance of browning. I'm extremely disappointed!
Reverse Tire Mounting Appearance Issue
I always mount these tires with the letters facing in. I was very disappointed that the corresponding outside viewing surfaces (on all four tires) was not what it should have been; exhibiting scuff marks which were embedded into the tire surfaces, which could not be cleaned off. This is not my first set of TA Radials that I have purchased in the past and I had no issues; as I bring my car to various car shows in my area so this extremely disappointing.
Not happy with my 3rd set of tires
To be honest this is my 3rd set of tires on a classic car and I am not happy with them. This set seems to be a lot more noisy than previous ones

Love those white letters
I love my new T/A radials. They make a huge difference in the look for my 1967 Mustang
Handling
They stick like glue
Classic looks for a classic vehicle
I have used Radial TA's on all my classic vehicles for many years. Whether white letters in or out, they seem to fit the" classic"look"
Awesome tires
Need to make this an option for 17" ! Preferably 225/65/17. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Especially the white raised lettering! You'd make millions today!
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.
