what tires to go with?
I need to buy new tires for my car but not sure which one's to go with.
I looked around in tire rack and found the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2. The second tire I liked was the BFGoodrich g-Force Sport . Does anybody have any experince with any of these tires or a better one to recommend? Not sure what size I want to buy yet but there going to go on 17 inch wheels.

i like the g-force sports a lot. i have them in 245/16 up front and 255/16 in back. They grip exceptionally well, even in the wet. I even use them for autocross. and they are fairly cheap for the amount of grip they give. i can't say anything about the kdws as ive never had them

I've use the G-Force KDW, Nitto 555, Nitto 555RII (race tire), Kumho 712, 711, and MX.
I'd go Kumho MX, then BFG KDW or KDW2 (the KDW2 is supposed to have identical specs as the KDW, just with a new tread pattern), then the Nitto 555.
Oh, and you can get the new MX's with the colored smoke, so you do a burnout and the smoke is either red or blue. I am going to go with the red smoke one.

I have Goodyear GS-D3's on my LS1 car and absolutely love them. Awesome grip and 10,000 miles so far and they still look new. Not badly priced either.
