A word of warning on larger size Radial TA’s so called raised white letters.

Ever since Michelin and Coker took over manufacturing and marketing of these iconic tires,,,, the larger sizes are no long raised white letters,,,,they are raised brown letters. The smaller sizes back then were not affected. I do know exactly the cause.

Michelin replaced those on my 71 Vette under cosmetic warranty 2 times. Before allowing them to do again when the third set turned brown,,,,less than 30 days, I reversed them and but the brown walls in.

There are several threads on this forum that covers this subject,,,with photos, in detail. This was a couple years ago,,,perhaps they have reformed their manufacturing processes.
