These are on my top 5 list of possible replacement tires in the spring. I tried to get more info from BFG's website but they say they don't come in the right size(275/40/17). On Tire Rack they list the right size. From what the BFG site said they have the same compound as the KD's and stick nearly as well. I'm also considering Fuzions and Goodyear made Essenga's. I haven't seen anybody running the GForce Sports yet though.

I just ordered a set from Discount Tire, the tire was a little more but they shipped for free so it saved me money out the door.

I spoke with Cade at Ext. 451, he asked me to pass the word along.

I had the KDWS on my S10 Xtreme but only for a couple months before I traded it for the Camaro. They were good for the time I had them but didn't put maybe 5K miles on them if that.

the ones i got on my car now are the ones on the car when I bought it a year ago. They were already used & lasted a year of my driving, burnouts, & three trips to the track. Not to damn bad.

Are you sure they stated it has the same compound as a KD?? That does not sound right, especially since the KD carries a 200 treadwear rating and the sport a 340 (you can compare the two since they are from the same company).

That's what it said. I knew it sounded strange since the KD's are a low treadwear rating compared to the Sports. Check it out for yourself.

I put a set on my '96 SE-R this last year and really like them so far. The only bad thing is that I have just recently discovered how truely useless the tire is in even very small amounts of snow, but I knew that going in. The are very good in wet/dry and have better sidewall stiffness than the SP5000s I had. I am definately considering them for replacements on the T/A.

Note: Although they were the same size as the previous tires on my 200sx(215/50/15 Dunlop SP5000), they were significantly narrower. I don't know if the Dunlops run wide or the BFGs are narrow, but thought I would throw my observation out there.

I have them on my car. 400+rwhp and about 4k miles on them and still look new! Im not easy on them either. They are the best bang for the buck IMO.
