Nothing takes care of the browning. It is stained from the inside out. I've tried everything there is. Nothing can change the color. It is the rubber bleeding into the letters. I will never buy another BFG tire again.

If I've ever had a tough clean up on white letters, I wet the tires and my brush then load the brush with Comet an have at it.
It works.

Maybe you should just stick to black side wall tires?...

Seriously though, every tire "browns", I have had BFG belted T/A's in the past (70's-80's), they would brown, BFG Radial T/A's, they would brown, Goodyear Eagles ST's/GT's/GTII's they would ALL brown, I have MH Racemaster tires that brown, TSL Swampers, even my Pirelli P Zero black walls that brown, and even a set repro GoodYear Polyglas GT's that brown...white lettered and white sidewall tires have been browning for decades...you'd swear from some of the posts on here, it's a recent event? and only on BFG tires...

FYI, you want to clear up the browning, and keep it at bay for some time, clean the individual white letters or sidewalls with tri-chlorethelene

I don't think people are realizing that the white letter browning on BF Goodrich TA radials is not from normal decomposition, this was an inherent flaw in newer tires produced within the last few years. They are aware of the problem as well. A friend of mine recently got his 18 month old tires replaced for free after contacting BF Goodrich. He was told his nearest dealer happened to be the local Sears. They replaced all four and a few months later the letters remain white. Make sure when you purchase these tires they are New and not within the dates that were flawed.

You obviously have never experienced this particular problem. As stated in an earlier post, this problem is caused from contaminants leaching out from the tire itself.

I bought 4 new BFG's couple years ago. The rear tires were definitely different. the raised letters on all 4 would brown but only the fronts cleaned up white, NO MATTER WHAT I TRIED the rears were BROWN raised letters. Cleaning them made them change shade of brown to light brown while the fronts were bright white.

Discount tire replaced the rears this past May no charge.

I think what happens is the black rubber leaches into the white letters and they cannot be "cleaned".

Easist trick to avoid the browning of the bfg white letters is to run the correct tire for your muscle car. I.E redline, polyglas, whiteline....
