exact sizes i bought for my work meister s2r's can't wait to get these bad boys on
well after speaking to Jim I think I'm not going to go for 255 anymore, I'll go with 245. Fronts will stay the same.

225/40 18
245/35 18

These are for LE37Ts: 18X7.5 +48 / 18X8.5 +50

Anyone else running these tires on volks? What sizes did you get?

I've had mine for over 3k miles.

The first couple of hundred miles they were quite loud. It almost sounded like I was driving my car with SuperSwampers. But I didn't mind it since I can't hear my radio anyhow.

I live in Seattle, and the most important aspect of a tire was wet weather traction. These are excellent in even the heaviest of down pours. Have never hydroplaned on any high/freeway...even at speed. I had S-03's before, and they are obviously not as sticky but I'm happy with them so far.

Plus the tread just looks MEAN!!!

My sizes:
215/45YR-17 Front
255/40YR-17 Rear

no, what i ment by uneven, is they like to feather and cup very easily, so at first they might not be that loud or ride bad but after a couple of rotations they, seem to start to wear like crap.

i have meny people bring these tires back to me and complain, ONE GUY DROVE HOME AND TURNED AROUND AND BRANG THEM BACK. i am a tire guy so i notice everything when i put a new set on the S. the only benifit to buying these tires are there price and they do have a long tread life.

After returning these i sold my 18s bought some 17's and put some michelins on. i am overly satisfied with the change and will never put another BFG on my S again. All in all BFG makes cheap long lasting tires that can perform well when pushed to the limit but for a daily drivers no way. This is including there truck tires (A/T M/T rugged trails suck ass). The only way i would buy BFG was if i had a camry or corolla or civic and i was on a tight budget (they make decent tires for compact cars with great mileage warranties at phenomanal prices).

any other questions just let me know. I love to share my tire experience with people becaus ei have seen so many people get ripped off in the past, or buy tires that they wish they hadn't.

p.s. if you do buy these hit up costco, employees do not make commission, road hazard , free rotation and balncing, all tires are inflated with nitrogen javascript:emoticon('') , free flat repairs, etc all included in a 10 dollar per tire install. this is an unbeatable deal. the road hazard alone is worth it

just my .02
