Default BFG G-force T/A KDW 2

I have these BFG's on my car. They vastly improved the handling but are horrible on any road that is not perfectly flat. Any small bump or wave in the asphalt makes the car swerve all over the road as if I was driving while completely hammered.

if you can push to Goodyear Eaglel F1 GSD3 you'd be doin yourself a big big favor. BUT make sure they're the German made ones, not those made in the Far-East. Have these wonderful tires on both my 07 ASdb9 and 02 SS.

these tires are very soft and do not last very long. and for hundreds less you can get tires just as good if not better, and last much longer.
