Default BFG street rubber

What do you guys think of these Tires for street driving?


NEW BFGS click here

BFG G-force T/A KDW 2

I live in louisiana, It rains just as much as its dry.

Im gonna run these next on my ADvan RG 16s, to see how they compare to the Azenis 215/45/16. I hope they hook better.

Will i have any problems running 225s in front or rear?

Default Re: BFG street rubber (Jordo)

from reading the reviews, the stock NEON SRT4 comes with these tires..

Some people like them alot but others hate them.

I found a review for azenis vs bfgs, they said the bfgs do not stick like the azenis on dry pavement .

What do you expect? The Azenis are borderline R-compound built for weekend cars, the KDW's are much more street car/daily driver orientated. I have them, and I really like them. Good dry traction, good wet traction, fairly quiet, gotten decent life out of them. I would buy them again.

I beat on a stage 1 srt-4 out at our local autocross this past weekend with those tires. They do more for handling than dry weather acceleration (dusty autox course mine you). I could roast them through first lightly feathering the throttle. Plus, they're mad expensive.

If you're looking for a tire thats also good in rain I would seriously look at Bridgestone Potenza S-03. Those tires are amazing in the rain.

I put a set of those on my moms bimmer and after I realized how well they stuck in wet conditions I started dicking around a lot in the rain. I could gas it in first and they would stick perfectly somehow everytime.

They are also a great handling tire but are pretty pricey.

Only slicks can hold 350whp on a fwd turbo honda buddy.

Nearly as well as azenis will, which I found to be not very good in a 2300 pound hatch

A big set of BFG Drag Radials might hold 350 fairly decent.

I was dissapointed in this tire for dry-traction. I normally would spin through third, and hook hard in 4th with azenis. With these, it gets slippery in 4th. BFG needs to release a 16" drag radial already, Azenis just aren't enough for the street
