the only tire ive driven is the BFG g-force series. thats the one with the funky tred patern right? looks sorta like a motorcycle tred. if thats the case, its a good street tire, you shouldent have any problems.
if i have it confused with the other bfg tire im thinkning of, its a classis knob style tred, they are really good grippy tires, but they have a nasty tendancy to "chunk", where whole blocks of tred come off, but thats only on a formula dodge race car thats been driving around a track all day and neer race speeds (i say neer because its usualy students). but if its for the street you will be fine.
edit:
recomendation, any descently priced goodyear, because, well, goodyear is the shizzle. bfg isent bad either. id stay away from the k-mart special
tires is like most things, you get what you pay for. keep in mind, you will pay a premium for a tire with a unorthodox tread patern simply because they look cooler and can be market up because they are geared towards tuners, and people willing to spend more money on there car products.
questions:
do you track your car? or do 1/4 mile racing often (street or track)
if so, do you use one set of tires for all automotive events? or do you have sets you rotate through for your diferent events.
I don't like the Potenza's, they are overpriced in my eyes. I have always loved the Toyo Proxes 4. I was going to get a set, but I got an unbeatable offer on some BFG T/As and they are very good tires. You might also want to look into the Avon series tires on Tirerack.com, they are inexpensive and outperform tires costing nearly twice as much. I had never heard of them, but I did a little researching and found that they are British tires and have been around for a while.
Haven't been to the track yet...might go sometime in the future but not planning on it any time soon. I just want a good all around tire leaning more towards performance.
Thanks, they're too expensive though at $142 a piece. They're great for everyday driving during the non-winter months. Never break traction. But they still break like crazy when I auto-x... but then again, I suck at it
I need to drive thru fresh gravel and take a pic right after. They look freaking awesome then.
