Anyone has tried this tires? Need input.. thanks in advance

 

Which one are you talking about? Which size wheels are you running? Let me know and I can try to help.

its the G-force sports, running 235/40/17 on a 17x7.5

 

They only make the G Force KDW2 in the 235/40R17. We have not had a chance to drive the new tire yet. I sure we will be doing a ride and drive on them soon.

 

I ran the KDs and ran into a lot of trouble as even with a wider rated size the tires were undersized when compared to the S02s. The 225 fronts were almost the same as stock but 255s rear were about a 1/2" narrower than stock S02 so gave the car terminal understeer.

If the tires had been as wide as they should have been I would have liked the tires as they were predictable and comfortable riding. It is just that the smaller rears thru the handling limits off. If you never hit an autocross or track you wouldn't notice the dif.

BTW they were very good in the wet.

 

Smaller tires in the back would lead to oversteer, not understeer

 

Sorry, typed faster than I proofread.

Oversteer was definitely what I got!! It was fun once I got over the shock, but definitely not the fastest way around an autocross course.

Now if I were into driftin . . . . . .

 

i run the KD's 225 45 17 front and 245 40 17 rear. i think the BFGoodrich KDs are amazing. the car feels much more solid and really holds the road. i feel like the car has a much better patch on the road. and feels safer in the turns.

BFGoodrich tires ownz

 

Thanks for the input guys. Its hard to get a hold of the S-02s here, local shops here said they were discontinued? As for the S-03s, i have to pre-order them for 3 months. Choices left are th BF Goodrich and Potenza GIII.

 

Order from Tirerack, probably better prices than your local shops anyway.
