BFG G-Force Sport owners inside please...
How do you like them? I'm sick of these OEM F1 GS's. I got them because I needed tires and I got them dirt cheap. I need something with just a little more bite and won't cost me an arm and a leg. If I can pull a 2.0 60' out of them they're worth it to me.
So, how do you guys like them? Do they hook good for a street tire? Are they noisey?
I've done a search but couldn't come up with a lot of people with real world experiences with these tires. Only "Oh my buddy has 'em and loves them" or "they're cheap, get 'em"
Thanks!

i have the kDW2's...they are a great tire for the street! the traction is alright..mind you any V8 F-Body has the tendency to smoke tires with out much of a problem.... but....
i have noticed with the kDW2's there is a bit of noise..but it's hard to tell cause when i crack my windows all i hear is my exhaust and valvetrain from the heads 'n' cam....
i would suggest BFG tires though! i've had 2 sets of BFG's since the stock Eagle F1's literally Chunked apart after a track day....i love BFG tires. they are great for their intended use

Thanks but that's a different tire than I asked about I'm actually considering them though. Thanks for the input!

I'm generally a BFG fan. I cannot stand the F1's I have on the car now. Any temperature below 50 and I simply cannot hook at all. I know that I do have a stall and everything, but I should at least be able to get the car to hook with full suspension. I have BFG KD's and so far, so good.

Probably just because they're cheap in price and in quality. Get you to come back and change tires at the dealership every 15k If you're just going to be driving around town and rarely step on it, the tires should do fine. BFG's last a long time too.

i have gforce sports on the front and they work good.. as well as any other tire ive used and a hell of a lot cheaper.. probably about 6k miles, not much noticable tread loss.. slightly on sides but i run a different size in rear so i cant rotate.. shouldnt have a problem reaching 20k

I have the KDW2's and I really like them so far. They hold in the corners a lot better than my Kumho tires. On take off they will spin a little but not nearly as much as my old tires. I do not notice the noise but then my exhaust is pretty loud I did a fair amount of Internet research on tires before buying and these seem to fit my needs the best. I do not drive my car in rain. If I did I probably would have gone for the Goodyear GS-D3's as they got better marks in the rain than the KDW's.
