For street tires with raised white letters I’ve always used BF goodrich radial TA’s. They’re not the best performance tire but you can’t beat the looks except for perhaps the original Eagle GT’s that came on our cars. This is where many will chime in with their opinions of Cooper Cobra tires and the like...personally I think anything other than BF’s or Eagles make a G body look cheap - just my 2 cents.
The issue: The set that I have on my 442 continually requires cleaning because the letters turn yellowish. I’ve found that goo gone does a pretty decent job of cleaning them up but I can never get them to look like they used to with a crisp white color. The BF radials on my truck stay clean and are a bright white. Anyone share this issue and know why? I’ve read that BF Goodrich sold production of 15 inch tires to another company a few years back because of low volume sales. Thoughts?
