These are okay but not great; you can do much better for the same money. If you need a long-lasting summer tire that's good in rain as well as on dry pavement, and you don't plan to use them in snow or frigid cold, the Yokohama S.drive, Fuzion ZRi, and Kumho SPT are all MUCH better than the g-Force Sport, and in most sizes cost about the same price. If that's not what you're looking for, you might be better off getting something other than any of these.

What size are your wheels? What kind of car is this going on (model, year, version, body style)? What kind of weather (dry, rain, snow)? How will you use them (daily driving, winding roads, autocross/racetrack)?

16'' wheels. 95 civic SI. I live in the Northwest, so we do get a lot of rain up here.
These would be for daily driving/winding roads, with ocassional track use.

Then you need either 205/40-16 or 195/45-16.

If you want to get tires similar to the g-Force Sport - longer-lasting (figure 25-40K miles) and great in rain - the Yokohama S.drive is a good choice, with better grip and handling than the BFG. It will also do fairly well on the track. It's available in 195/45-16, $94/tire with free shipping from Discount Tire Direct.

If you want tires that are better suited for those winding roads and track use, where they will stick better than the S.drive, you can get the Falken Azenis RT-615 in 205/40-16, $98/tire with free shipping from Discount Tire Direct. However, it won't last anywhere near as long (figure 10-12K miles) and it's not very good in rain.
