[QUOTE=lukesvette]I have a set of TA Radials as well and have the same problem. Talked to a friend at an STS and he said that for quite a while, the rubber compound was releasing a brownish chemical through the rubber and the whitewalls get permanently stained.
I have the same issue and the best I can do even with Westleys is an "off-white" finish...BFG offered 50% off a new set to me but would have still run over $350 with mounting and "shipping the defect tires back to the plant for examination".
Not worth the trouble. I'll drive on these for a while and then convert to Firestone Indy's...
