i had the g force sports on my integra and on my s. i was very happy with them for the price. only issue is they didn't get much traction once i started making lots of power (but i think it had more to do with the fact i was still running the stock tire sizes). i prefered them over the so2s when it came to wet weather driving too. everyone that i have met that run them on their s are pleased with the tires. hope this helps.

It helps a lot. Thanks. Trying to keep the price down and still get something decent. I can also get them in the stock size front tire so that helps. How many miles did you get out of them on your S?

My car came with the rikens. As a strictly daily driver tire, I suppose it's fine. The car would start to slide much sooner when aggressively going around corners than my current tires (to be expected).

On the track, they grease up pretty quickly.

I would probably go for the bfgoodrich's.

i was ridiculously slammed so i burnt through front tires quickly- i got about 20k (two years) out of the rears and took them off with a little life left on them. i would recommend getting wider tires than factory- the bfg's have a smaller tread width than the factory so2's (just about every tire has a smaller tread width)- so up it atleast 10mm.

20k is a lot better than the 10-12k I got out of the Kumhos I put on it.

Just ordered all 4. Only needed the rear but I'm tired of the Fuzions on the front. Got all 4 for $315. I'll install them myself sat.

Those tires you listed are all over the board as far as the type of tire. The Turanza that you linked to is actually discontinued. The other tiers are all season performance tires that will handle better but not give you the ride quality of the touring tires.
