Opinions on BFG G-force Sport

Has anyone bought the lower priced BF Goodrich G-force sport tires with stock 16 x 8 wheels, what is your opinion on them?

recently got a set of 245/50/16's through the tirerack, and am decently happy with them. They replaced a set dunlop sp sport a2's of the same size, and feel like they grip better in a straight line.. they hooked decently at the track (2.1 60', first time after engine/tranny swap), and didn't lock up under my "wet braking test" while the dunlops did. However, my impression after a canyon run was an unpredictable limit of traction. IMHO, there's a reason they cost what they do, and I'm sure the g force kd/kdw are at a much higher level.

Yeah you can really feel the difference when you try the different levels of the G-Force tires. Sport-kdws-kdw-kd, they all perform differently and have different level of predictability. The sports are an exceptional tire for their price though.
