good tires

yeah I know I dont have a thirdgen but still you guys are good help


trying to get some new tires for auto-x and dont know what I am wanting to grab as of yet
want something I can also use on the street but need lots of grip
these are going to go on a 17" rim

so far I was thinking about getting the BFG g-force KD
heard they have great grip for auto-x

someone was telling me to get some nitto drag radials but isn't the sidewall on them a little soft? wouldn't that hurt my ability to turn and keep up good grip?

do you guy have any other ideas?

and also howgood would the g-force go into the drag world?

would I be best to stay with the g-force then

I really dont know how good the drag radial would do as far as auto-x just head that the sidewall is soft so wouldn't let me turn as well
just trying to make sure from you guys and see what you have to say

Most of my friends that autocross and open track run either Bridgestone Potenza S-02's or Kumho's racing tire.
