Anyone Running BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2?

joshs09slvrZ · 10-30-2011, 02:58 PM

I was originally planning on going with the Hankook V12s, but their price went up a little. I was also going to go with 255 in the front and 285 in the rear...but I decided I would go with 245 in the front and 295 in the back...and now my options include the BFGoodrich for only a couple hundred more. Anyone running these? Thoughts?

Sizes will be 245/35/19 in the front and 295/35/19 in the rear and it's only for daily driving with the occasional "spirited" drive. Also planning on going with spacers too.

Be prepared for a very noisy tire, very grippy but the noise is almost unbearable.

They do also last a good while since they have such a high tread wear rating but I won't run them anymore after my fronts need replacing.

No kidding?! Are they noisier than the stockers?

It's retarded.

However, they have lasted me a very long time so you do get your money's worth with them.

If you can swing the Michelin Pilot Sports or Nitto INVO's I would go with those instead.

They are a good tire ran them on my 350Z.... good grip, really didnt notice the noise level, but then again I dont really care because its a sports car and they will all have some sort of road noise that people will complain about...

Yeah...I mean the stock tires are kind of noisy...but like you said it's a sports car so you're going to hear the road. I've read that the V12s have a soft side wall...so I'm assuming these are stiffer?
