Those are too wide for your wheel's, and too big for your vehicle.

You are in need of either 195/55r15 or 205/50r15. on a 15x6 wheel's I would personally stick with the 195/55r15 but that's your call.

My last tires were actually bf goodrich g-force sport and I really disliked them, I have had much much better tires in the past for lesser prices.

Currently I am running Dunlop direzza dz101 and They are excellent imo, great all around tire, I have auto crossed and have been on the road course a few times with them. They are decently quiet and work great in wet weather aswell. right now they are just about finished and have 30,000 hard kilometers on them.

Falken azenis are also an amazing tire for the price, but the wet weather performance and poor treadlife make them less than ideal for me as a daily driver, I would like to have a spare set mounted on track wheels though.

I have heard nothing but great things about the ecsta spt aswell, and I have driven a friends car equipped with them and was pleased with them aswell.

Still to this date, my favorite tires I have owned are the Bridgestone potenza reo10, but their price is too high for me to use them all the time.

What kind of car do you have (year, model, version)? The proper tire size depends on the car, not just on the wheel.

As noted in the FAQ:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Forum Rules and FAQ - READ BEFORE POSTING &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">What size tires should I get?

The proper size depends on your car, not just the wheels you are using.

For a CRX, del sol, or pre-'96 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:

13" - 175/70-13
14" - 185/60-14, 195/55-14
15" - 195/50-15
16" - 205/40-16

For an Integra or '97-00 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:

14" - 185/65-14, 195/60-14
15" - 195/55/15, 205/50-15
16" - 205/45-16, 215/45-16
17" - 205/40/17

This is open for discussion and by no means what you have to get, but as a general rule you cannot go wrong with these sizes.</TD></TR></TABLE>

There are better tires out there than the g-Force Sport, but it depends on what size you need. Let us know about your car...

For your '94 Integra, here's what I suggest.

If you care ONLY about the maximum grip on dry pavement, such as if you plan to use these for an occasional autocross or track event, get the Falken Azenis RT-615 in 205/50-15, $73/tire. It's the stickiest street tire you can get on dry pavement. Downsides include short treadlife (typically 10-12K miles) and so-so wet traction.

If you also care about wet traction and/or long treadlife, such as for daily driving, get the Kumho SPT or Yokohama ES100 in either 195/55-15 or 205/50-15. Both have pretty good dry traction, excellent rain traction, and last a reasonably long time (25-40K miles). ~$55-60/tire.

Any of these options will give you MUCH better performance than the BFG g-Force Sport, even in 215/50-15 (which will rub).

You can find more detailed recommendations in this post.

that is alot of money for some shitty bfg! Also they suck!

I would get the Azenis RT-615 which is so much better then your shitty bfg. Also the Azenis is what 73$ a tire... you do the math!

On dry pavement? Sorry, I just don't believe it. This is like someone claiming that his Kia Spectra beat a Corvette off the line.
