I need new tires for my 2000 T/A Firehawk.
Stock size is 275/40/17, wheels are 17 x 9.

Since Firestone doesn't make the original Firehawks anymore, I'm trying to decide between Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals & BFG Comp TAs.

(For dry performance only)

Anyone with either of these two tires (or any other tire), please give me your recommendations.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

I have the 285-40-17 wide ovals and they hook good. I can ease out in first gear then hammer down and they wont break loose. Of course they will still go up in smoke with a 3K clutch dump. Very nice tires.

bfg gforce's is whats on my wheels. They hook really well in dry summer weather.

Oops!!

Sorry. I mis-undertyped. I meant the BFG G-Force. My bad.

I'm swayed toward the Firestones because they are much cheaper with very similar ratings.

Thanks guys. Anyone else?

BFG's I love mine, I have never had good luck with anything Firestone...

I just picked up the firestone wide ovals. I was up in the air between those and BFG KW's. I ended up picking the firestones b/c my friend got me a killer deal on them as he works for firestone. 100 bucks a tire installed and balance. I only drove the car home from getting them installed and it was pretty cold so I can not say how they hooked as I took it easy. I did see a guy on ebay selling the BFG KW's for $275 a pair plus shipping. Not sure if you would be interested in those.

I also had the firehawks and loved them. They are definately sticky.

What did you get???

Nothing yet. But on Tire Rack, the cheaper Firehawks get better dry traction reviews than the G-Force.

Probably the Firehawks.
