BF Goodrich gForce T/A KDW's

Hey Y'All,

Baby needs some new shoes!!! Found a great deal on these BF's, but have not heard anything about them. Anyone have an opinion???

Should I just stick with the PS's? Been a great tire, but terrible wear life and expensive as hell.

Just want to get more miles, great performance, for as little as possible. I know I can do it! JK.

Thanks for the help in advance!

I have heard the road noise is terrible on them. I decided on the Nitto NT555's and really have been impressed with them. Not a bad price either and the wear life has been much better than the stock tires...

I have them on the rear, and road noise is not a problem.

They're just not as sticky as the stock tires.

had them both and the nito are definitely lowder. I currently have the BFGs and i'm very happy with them. They are sticky initially but about 25 to 40% into the thread life not as sticky. Tirerack.com has an extensive writeup on them, check it out. Road noise is not even a factor since i installed the stillen gen2 catback, i hear that instead of the tires.

I have 245 /275 19" versions on my G and I love them. Better than the stock Bridgestones for wet traction, looks, road noise, and tread life.
thumbs up from me. I am also buying a second set for my Accord as well.

I had a set of KDWS's on my '00 Mustang GT convertible, and the road noise was negligible, far quieter than the Goodyear Eagles that came on the car.

I had them on my ITR and I have them on my G35. I love them. Great for daily driving and occasional tracking.
