Default BF Goodrich tyres

Hey All,

I am about to invest in a new set of tyres and I was shown a set of BF Goodrich G-Force Sport tyres in 245-40-18.

Has anyone on here had BF Goodrich tyres? if so how did they go in the wet?

Cheers

mate i got these tyres and they are iing unreal!! by far worth the money. I went from poor quality tyres to these and i do alot of mountain runs and by god they handle and stick well. And they stop awesome in the rain i had a lady pull out right infront of me in pouring rain i was surprised how quick she pulled up. I think they were rated tyre of the year im pretty sure.

They quoted me $1880, I think I might go with another tyre it is a 235/40/18.

It is called a Michelin Pilot Preceda II for around $1200.

Have you got your heart set on these particular tyres? I've never used them so i can't comment, but if i may make a suggestion I highly recommend the Maxxis MA-v1. I just got a set in the same size you stated and they are unreal for the price of $165 each, and they're still being worn in! You won't be disappointed.
