Question BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KD, anyone?

Hi,

Before I buy them, could anyone suggest if I am making a good/right decision?

It is for my 00 986S, US030 suspension, 18" wheels.

- Dry performance is my major requirement. I don't drive this car in rain. I have a 951 as my rain car.

- I only put a few thousand miles on my S yearly, and I bring it to DE/AutoX a few times per year.

- I don't mind noise/comfort at all.

Any comments on this tire, and would you suggest me to go for it?

Many thanks!

I had these as my track tires until recent. Since I haven't been doing DEs very consistently, it is hard to determine their grip compared to other tires. For me they were pretty good, but others have said good things about them in the past.

They will be louder than most others, but are supposed to be the best dry traction non-R Compound tire.

Good luck and enjoyh,

Skip

Thanks Skip,

T/A KD it goes! I'm going to order them from tirerack, and will report to everyone how I like it.

Warm Regards,

Alex,
I can confirm that they are a good decision. Best non-R compound out there. Another choice would be to run Toyo RA1's at full tread. They are a nice tire as well.
