Default Between the two.
Any opinions out there from owners of either (or both) tires? I'm going to be either getting the Avon Tech M500 OR the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS tonight. Any advice?

This is for 245/50- 16

edit: The pricing is the same for both tires.

KDWS. I had them on my DD for 40,000 miles and thought they were a great all round tire

I've read a lot of the two, i hear the BFgood's have noiser treadwear, but have better traction...

hmm... yeah, now that I think about it, they were sort of loud about 70 mph, but then again all my driving was highway with the car

They do have great traction for street tires. They were even pretty good in snow.
