Price from Tire Rack $1108 for 245/40/18 fronts and 315/30/18 rears. Looking for a inexpensive set for driving around town, no canyon runs, etc.

Anyone run these tires for street only?

 

Not sure I can post this since they are not a vendor, but...

I'd take Pirelli's or Michelin's over BF's.

 

Keep in mind that Michelin owns BFG.

I think you'll find a lot of compounds and technology shared between the two brands.

I wouldn't be suprised if the Rival isn't simply Pilot Super Sport compound poured into the Rival tread pattern.

The Pilot Super Sport should definitely be classified as an Extreme Performance Summer tire, but it doesn't fit the brand profile.

Their BFG brand allows them to position a tire in the Extreme Performance Summer category. They can also worry less about noise and wear in that category.

Just my 2 cents,
Steve

 

Have used Pirelli's in the past with mixed results on different cars. Did not like them at all on the P car.

Michelin's a great tire, but not the price for getting groceries.

For $1100 the BFG's sound good.

 

I'd really like to give these tires a shot. Keep in mind they start at about 7/32nds where most other tires start at 9-10/32nds".

 

Michelin oversees BFG but I can assure this is a different tire than the Super Sport is. In initial press release testing the BFG excelled over other tires in the Extreme Performance category for wear - by a pretty surprising margin. They are able to take a lot of abuse without wearing out. Grip on them is outstanding as well, and bested tires like the Bridgestone RE-11A, Dunlop ZII, and Yokohama AD08. We think BFG has a winner on their hands.

And yes, I think Michelin is happy that a tire in their "family" happens to be in the Extreme Performance category!

You can read our test on the tire here.

Call me if I can help.

 

Tempted to try these as well.
No feedback at all? Anyone try these yet?

 

They are only have a W speed rating..
Depending on how fast you take your car up to..

 

These would be for street, 168 should be enough.
I will have a different set up for track

 

It doesn't even look like our sizes are available.. What am I missing?

 

315 & 245 if you're running 18 x 9/12"

 

Man I would have loved to try these.

Last week, I just put a set of Super Sports up front and PS2's out back (235/315).

It is a nice combo.

You can use these with a 8.5" and 11" width too.

 

If I ever start street driving again, these will be my next set on the GT2.

Friend of mine ran them on a LeMons 24hr car and really liked them.

 

I love those tires! I had the BFG g-force sport before and now I have their 2nd gen sport tire. Grip in the dry is awesome and the wet traction has since improved as well. I thought 285 was the biggest size you could get though?

Unlike the Hankook V12s, the sidewall is stiff and doesn't flex.
