RAISED BROWN LETTERING

[kma176]

Has anyone come across a a problem with BF Goodrich T/A Radials - I purchased a pair earlier last year and the raised white letters are brown.
I've tried every different way of cleaning, they look whiteish for a week then the brown bleeds though again.
When they turned up they had all the normal blue dye across them and they are correct date code so not old ones!
I am in touch with Michelin(as it seems they own BF Goodrich now) and have filled there claim forms in but they are not very forthcoming .
I have since purchased another pair for the rear and they are just fine with Raised White Letters and not Brown!

I experienced this with the BFGs I bought for my Vandura, I debated complaining but persisted with cleaning and it has eventually stopped,two years plus I’m afraid. In hindsight I should have done something about it. I use Traffic Film Remover on a worn dish scourer.

Some sets stay brown, I made this on my old Mustang. No matter how much you use a scouring pad / Cif. Other sets clean up well.

Just a thought they weren't 245/60/15 were they? bad batch maybe.
I've been told by Northants to use Brake Fluid and Wet & Dry (tried it but still not White its engrained not on the surface)!!
I am in touch with manufacturers so we'll see what happens - at the end of the day they are advertised as Raised white letters and not Brown raised letters>

Brown on BFG 255/60/15s.

Yes had the same issue, returned them to Northants Tyers and the new ones do the same.

I sort of like the vintage look of them not being quite so white but they then don't match the fronts which I've considered staining somehow to match.
