Default BF Goodrich G-Force any good?

Has anyone had any experience with this tire?

BF Goodrich has several in this G-force line.
G- force t/a KDW
G- force Supersport

does anyone use them and what do you think?...good or bad.

Thanks




I am looking for advice is selecting new tires, so I am looking to the C5 guys for help. Based on your experience what can you tell me? I have read the tire store comments but looking for real life.

I have Y2K (2000) wheels on my C3. 245/45-17 fronts 255/45-17 rears with falken tires. I really like the look of these tires. low, flat (square profile), smooth sidewall.

I am looking for better Ride quality and maybe some noise reduction. Budget is around $600 to $700

So what can you tell me? whats been good for you and why? what did you like and what should I stay away from? Let me know the manufacturer and the model.

Thanks

very nice Id get them again and cool looking tread.

I had the KD's not the KDW and would be perfectly fine with recommending any BF G-force tireDry traction was very good and wet was much better than I expected but they are not cheap....a little on the pricey side.

A lot of guys are running the KDW here. I chose them mainly since they are the only company that makes a 295/35/19. The tread pattern is radical and the handling is great. You will hear some complain them being noisy but I have had no problems there.

I have the Supersports and am very happy with them. Great wet or dry, quiet and wearing well.

I have the KDWs and am very happy. Not noisy, grip well in the turns and the rain and have a cool tread pattern. They are relatively new so I have no opinion on longevity.
