Are you talking about the BFGoodrich? If so, I have them. Been good tires. They seem to have a stiff sidewall so they corner good, but track the road more. Also good wet weather performance. I don't track so can't help you there.

g-force sports are kind of crappy IMHO

if you want bfg get kdw's or kdw2's. they are WAY better than the g-force sports and pretty cheap too.

I may try those next time as well. I haven't had a lot if different tires on the S so didn't know the difference between them all.

I'm eyeballing a set of Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec at the moment.

I hear good things about them, good value too.

I ran the KDWs and loved them. They were easy to live with on a day-to-day and also did well in the mountains with some heat in them. I also like the GSD3s too. Good tires but cost was high. Read the reviews at TireRack.com to help you pick the right tire for a good price.

FYI, Discount tire will price match TireRacks price if you want to get them local.

I love my toyo t1r's and their also not too expensive. My dads 911 has goodyear f1's (which are like $180 per tire or something ridiculous) and he likes the toyo's on my s better. The only downside it that they have a really low tread wear rating of about 200 i think...I've had them for about a year and 9 months and the rears are almost completely done (i've driven about 23,000 miles and autocrossed once with them).
