Default BF Goodrich g-force T/A?

Anyone running these tires?

How do they handle and how long do they last?

Little different tire, but i just got some 285/60/16 BFGoodrich Radial T/A and they are a great tire, ride well, took them to the track and they performed well, i just can't drive. But from what i can tell all the customers at my work that buy them are 100% satisfied. If that helps at all.

I've never put them on a personal vehicle before but I can speak from experience riding in them. Brand new, they are loud as hell. They wear rather quickly, in a truck you probably wont see 40k miles out of them. But oh my God do they grip, rain or shine. Any directional tire with a soft rubber compound will wear fast and be loud on the road, but you can't have it all. For the price they're decent too in a 285/60R18.


Like BFG's website says, "Shatter the 1G barrier". They're referencing the ability to make tuner cars close to the .8-.99G mark break into 1G+ like the Vette and Viper (among other cars of course, those 2 just come to mind). The G-forces sure to stick to the road, that's for sure.

I am running the 305/55R 20 out back and they have great traction but I don't hear any noise at all.

I have the Radial T/As now. Just looking for something with more grip. Truck is not that quiet, so a little road noise is ok.

I got them used, so I can't honestly say. I can tell you the front tires seem 2-3 times longer than the front ones, irregardless of the brand.

I am running the 305/50/r20 on a 20"x9" wheel on my SSS and they are pretty sweet. I dont expect them to last but mabey 25k miles but that would take me about 10 years to wear out as much as i drive the truck. They handle great and and have great traction at the track.

im running 305/35/24 KDW II tires, and LOVE them. they grip incredibly. no hydroplaining (unlesss boost induced ) the sidewall stability on my big *** EC is supurb, and honestly mine are not loud at all. they are actually quieter than the pirellis i had before. they are awesome tires, not to mention they look kick-***!

downfalls: price and tire life. they are a pretty penny more than competitors, and my first set was gone in 14k. id have to say id buy them again tho. the tire is one of the most important parts of the car, not just for performance... especially safty

Same deal here except on a 10 inch wide wheel. I will buy another set...in ten years
