Are BFGoodrich raised white letters still turning brown?

I've seen posts here and there, and their web site is full of complaints about this, and their response is "First we've heard of this."  Anyone know about this, and if the problem has been solved?  My tires are maybe 10 years old and are almost bald, but still as white as one can expect.  The pics I've seen of brown letters look really bad.

I bought 2 new tires 2 years ago and turned brown 6 months after. I'm looking at Cooper tires now.

Has this not been happening with BFs for decades??

Totally agree! Between the brown letters and ride disturbance...they're JUNK!

I got a banging good deal on COOPER's from Amazon, some crap going on in the RWL's but not browning.

All of my TA RWL's turn brown but I don't care because the RWL's are on the inside where they belong.

Every white letter tire or white wall ive ever seen fades and turns colors. Thus the cleaners made for them.

After every outing I clean off the RWL's with some brake cleaner on a microfiber cloth and wipe the sidewalls. Keeps the tires and RWL's clean, but they have turned brown without me doing this.  The cleaning is just a crutch until I get around to replacing them.  For now it keeps the tires looking clean, easy to do and doesn't take a lot of time.

Hopefully it is a "new guy" that said this to help his sales numbers...   If the company is stating that they aren't aware, then that is just wrong!   I went with Coopers this last time and all is good!

I went with Coopers because of the issues with BFG. Well, my 3 month old Cooper RWL's are turning brown. I'm not a happy camper. Super hard to clean and they still won't get really white.

I just use a dense soft bristle brush and straight Dawn dish soap cleans them right  up with minimal fuss. usually one or twice a year.

Hows Boeing?

Spend 108.00 for a vintage bottle of "westley's bleche wite" on eBay! WTF?     Glad I stopped caring about RWL's now! (Another good product gone.)

30 years of grim cleaned right off my Polyglass tires with a wipe of Naptha. Not sure how it would work on BFG's that have been turning brown since the start of time, but worth a try.

I had them (13") on my 72 Vega GT, good tires.
