Default BF Goodrich g-Force Sport

has anyone ever tried theses tires? I looked them up on tirerack.com and they got pretty good reviews from S2000 owners..any pros and cons?

Thanks

I have had several sets, though none were on my s2000. I have the BFG KDW NT on my s2000. Anyway, the g-force sports are a great tire for daily driving. I would consider something else for tracking or auto-X competitions. That being said, I was happy with the level of grip and how they wore. They are a 340 tread wear, which is a little harder of a compound than other sport tires.

Had them on my 1991 Legend coupe (200 hp) and a 1995 SHO (220 hp). Both hooked up much better.

Its a good thing my car has VSA because these tires do not grip nearly as much as OEM. But i'd say they'd last longer. I MO they are much more prone to oversteer in the rain and semi wet conditions. In the dry they are acceptable at best.

I had these for my old accord and they lasted well over 2.5 years! They're also quiet during highway driving. My brother is also running these on TC...no complaints. But then again, I can't say for sure what these'd be like on our cars.

I have run it on my car I had these mis-matched with a pair of falkens. The BFG's grabbed much harder than the falkens. Now that I have all four BFGs, the car grips much harder. I am sure the're not the worst tires, but they are also not the best.

They are great if your car is only a street car and you know it won't be on the track. They definitely don't offer the grip the oem tires do but they aren't trying to advertise them to do that either. I've got them on my car now and I've been very happy. I won't say I like them enough to get another set. I'll probably try something else.
