I'm going to be ordering my tires, hopefully sometime this week. I really like the BFGoodrich g-Force T/As. I've heard they have really good grip, but are a bit noisey. I'm not too concern with noise. It's not a daily driver and the car itself is pretty loud, not sure if the tires would be loud enough to over come the exhaust and turbo. What are your guys thoughts? I don't want to spend a ton of money on tires and really like the tread pattern of the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A.

 

What's your usage? Dry, wet/dry, wet/dry/cold/snow? Do you value grip over longevity? How important is price?

*Which* "g-Force T/A" are you considering? I count five street variants in different categories plus two drag radial models.

 

Well, like i mentioned its not a daily driver so it'll mainly be driven on dry and when it's about 45 degrees. I value both grip and longevity, but they cars not driven much. Price is important, but I'm not stuck on a specific price. Here is a link tire

 

KDW2 should be a good choice for dry grip + added longevity over OEM, I wouldn't have any qualms about trying them for a life/grip compromise. I had no issues with the original KDW on my old car.
For serious dry grip and trackability potential (with likely a shorter lifetime), the Dunlop Direzza Z1 StarSpecs look like the way to go, for similar money.

 

^ their not bad, but the tread pattern is killer on the bfgs.

 

falken 615s or oem bridgstone potenzo reo50's. there the only two tires that didnt suck for me and where reasonably priced.

i have used

potenza reo50's
falken 615's
advan ao48
bridgestone g sport kdw
pirelli <cant remember type but not there aggressive ones>

advans where the best, but balla's only apply.

< not a balla, came with rims, once killed, that was that.

stock rubber and falken 615s felt the most inspiring. kdw and pirellis sucked for my driving rain or dry. were not sticky at all. if you drive aggressive, i would stay away from them. just my opinion.

shit just saw your mod list, get something good. the last thing you need is a tire that cant put that power to the ground and keep you steady in a turn.

 

^ thats what I'm worried about. Something that can handle the power.

Your talking about bridstone kdw? Not the Bfg kdw?

 

thats gonna be tough.

lemme check here

215-45-17 for front 117 each from edgeracing.com

they have a 225 45 17 if you wanted for front. its 107 each. since the rear is upsizing one size, maybe wanna upsize from one size, but its your call.

255-40-17 for rear 125 each from edgeracing.com

if i had your car i would buy these

damn, now i gotta check on my sizes since these are on sale.

 

I'd go higher than $500 if need.

 

So you like the Falken Azenis Rt615, they're dirt cheap on edgeracing.com
