Re: BFG g-force sport

I've run a quote a few sets of performance tires in that size and these are by far the best handling ones I've had. Not good for making noise or doing burn outs cause they stick too good. Seem to be lasting o.k. Would definitely recommend them, sorry no pics. They do look very good though.

I got these on my 99 TA in 275/40/17 size and I like them. Great priced tire and good performance so far. Seem to grip good and handling feels pretty stable. The tires impressed me so far

Re: BFG g-force sport

I run the 255 in the back and 245 out front, good handling tires so far, have about 1,000 mi on them. Could be a litlle stickier on take off, but I'm pushin 400@ the wheels so that's gonna happen w/ anything. I'd buy them again.

Re: BFG g-force sport

They definitely hold. I've got al ot of suspension upgrades so Im all about putting that work/money through some good rubber and Im really happy with mine. They hold in the corners and it takes a pretty brutal clutch dump to light them up on my car - very good!

Re: BFG g-force sport

I've 245s on all four wheels, and I love 'em. Good traction, nice ride, minimal noise. I'd highly recommend getting all 245s though. You really can't even see the difference between 245s and 255s, and it'd be better for rotating purposes to keep 'em all the same. ...that and a lot of people believe that staggering the tires can lactually diminish handling. Not looking to debate that here, just giving food for thought.

I dont rotate mine...even before i put 255 on the rear. have to dismount and remount/balance. i get it done free but not worth the hassle.

my 245 fronts arrived...cant wait to get em on
