What do you think about the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2.
I was going to buy PS2's, but they dont come in the sizes i want 255/35/19 + 285/35/19 or 245/35/19.
Besides the sick looking tread, does the tire stick well? Besides the extra torque and power the supercharger adds, i want to be able to have very very sticky tires since i dont drive the car in the rain, and i am not worried about tread wear.

I had these on a previous car and they were quiet. They have good grip for off the line performance, treadwear and great wet grip (hydroplaning performance); however,
they lack in corning power. I felt the Yokohoma ES100 did a better job in the corning department, but they fell a tad short in wet performance. IMHO, as far as look's wise, the ES100's have a better looking sidewall (if that what your looking for). 
Thanks, i read tons of reviews from tirerack and everyone said the tires handled amazing with these tires.

D stands for dry, and W stands for wet. You should get G-force T/A KD tires if you only care about dry handling. KD's are built for dry traction only. I heard it could get scary in the rain with those tires 
Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 also is a great choice. It has received better score for dry performance than KD in recent Car&Driver tire review(I think it's on their website now... go check it out. It's a good review and very informative). It can also perform in wet conditions pretty decently. This would be my choice if I wanted dry traction. Decent wet traction is just an added bonus. Oops... just checked tirerack and Neova's don't come in the sizes you want. Sorry
They should start offering more size choices though as I think they were just recently released in the states. They are proven to be really good in Japan domestic market.
Anyway, just go to car&driver website and read the review... it should have all of the information that you would need.

Here it is: http://www.caranddriver.com/article....ticle_id=10252Rookie, thanks for finding that article for me. I think i took a look at the G-force T/A KD however they arent for sale in 19's?

Damn... I guess it's hard to find good tires in 19" sizes. That's one of the reasons I'm staying with 18s: more tire choices
Anyway, with Neova and KD ruled out, your best bet would be Michelin Pilot PS2 or Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. Eagles don't come in 285/35/19 though... 275/35/19 is their biggest size. PS2 doesn't have 285/35 either... they do have 285/30 and 275/35 though. However, PS2's are very very very expensive... I'd personally choose Goodyear F1 GS-D3 in 275/35 size.
I used to have 275 Bridgestone S03 tires on a Supra... they were good enough for almost 500rwhp, so it should be good enough for your supercharged G
I would recommend that tire but some time has passed since those came out and I think there are better tires out there in the market for the same prices now.

245/35/19 and 275/35/19 retains the stock diameter perfectly and is the setup most people use. Those sizes are what I would choose.
SON OF A BIATCH!
I just check the Michelin website, it shows the tire size 285/35/19! How come tire rack doesnt have that on their site?

I have the Michelin PS2's on my car.Love them, Best tires I have ever had.I run 245 x 35 x19 & 285 x 30 x 19 .These sizes are the closest the oem diameter.so everything work's just fine.These tires are quieter than the oem Michelins.They are very sticky tires.As comparison I do have the BFG KDW's on my Accord in 19's.Alot more noise than the Michelins.I felt the extra cost for these was woth it.
245 x 35 x19 & 285 x 30 x 19
i was worried about having a 35 up front and a 30 rear....

The side wall is the exact same size.So is the diameter,Check the specs on michelin's web site.You can also compare the oem size too.
