Well I too bought 4 tires, each set of 2 were of bad black or dark @ top of all letters. Remember, this is from 2 different dealers. That said, I am looking to see what others, like yourself, have done. I am sort of, @ a loss. Thing is, -GOODRICH QUALITY CONTROL SHOULD HAVE NOTICED- & never left them be sold. BF GOODRICH TIRES HAVE BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME! That said, I am going to call Goodrich, maybe even mention this site. Cause, hate to say this, but I AM GLAD it was not only me. I'll keep you posted. I saw someone else bought Goodrich tires & they were replaced. So I don't know. I WANT RESOLVE - I DON'T WANT EXCUSES OR THE word NO, from Goodrich.
