I seen the add for the g-tech if you get four bfgoodrich tires. I am looking at buying a set.
COMP T/A ZR trea is 220 trac A tem A z-rated
G-force KDW trea is 300 trac AA tem A y-rated
G-force KDWS trea 400 trac AA tem A w-rated
g-force KD trea is 200 trac AA tem A y-rated

I guess what I am asking is how do they compare. I know that the ZR and probably the KD too would not last too long for spending about (low treadwear = soft but doesn't last as long) $1200-$1300 (cdn) for four instaled. What is your guys recommendation for the tires. This is all they offer for bfgoodrich in the stock size 245/50/R16. It is a daily driver (non winter). I want something that is gonna hook up good but also last for a little while. I was looking at the Bridgestone 730's but I guess these will do if they are throwing in a g-tech. Just wondering your preferences.

Well, I got 37k miles out of my T/A ZR's, including drag-racing, tons of burnouts, and several days of road-racing. I bought another set a few months ago since I was so happy with their performance and life. These and the KD's are not all-season tires, so they don't do well in snow and ice (I've already tried unsuccessfully) and they harden up and lose their grip in colder temps (below 40 degrees F). I'm not sure if the KDW is an all-season tire, but it is more optimized for wet roads than the KD. I know the KDWS is an all-season tire, so which one you buy depends on if you need an all-season tire or not...

Sounds like you tried the wrong models. My Comp T/A ZR's lasted almost twice as long as my friend's Firestone SZ-50's, and I drive my car harder than his (longer burnouts, road-racing, etc.). My wife had problems with Firestones on her Contour, not to mention the problems with the Wilderness AT tires, so I'm not sure I'd trust anything Firestone produced.

I've got the BFG g-Force KDW and I have no big complaints. They are certainly not the best on the market but overall fairly descent. But Darrell, take a look at www.tirerack.com, they got rating and reviews on there. I used their site to do some research before I bought mine and I found them to be very helpful.

Hey Guys....It doesn't matter anyways, because I got a hold of the Canadian side of bfgoodrich and its an American promo only anyways. So I guess I will be getting 4 Bridgestone Potenza RE 730's or 4 Firestone SZ50 EP's. Their loss. Tires will be about roughly the same price. So I will probably get a better tire, just no gtech thats all. No big deal.
