As there are many models of the BFG G-Force, which one did you have in mind, summer or all season?
I've had G-Force Sport summer tire on the front of our modified RX7 Turbo for years, good tire, handles well, but the main reason I purchased this specific tire was that TireRack had them on sale for $50 each when the normal price was $100+.
Check over on the Tire Rack site for the reviews/survey of the tire after you decide on the one you want, but get 245/45-17.

My Acura dealer put a new set of BF G-Force tires on my car before I bought it (the all-season version). They've been great so far...living in upstate NY, my tires get tested in every environment. Decent snow grip and quiet on the highway. I have no idea what they cost, but I'm assuming they're expensive. From what I've read on Acurazine (and in the Subaru forums when I had my STi), the Pirrelli P-Zero Neros are one of the best all-season tires out there. That's probably what I'll go with after my G-Forces.

sorry about that, i was refering to the all season. i checked out tire rack and they have them for just over 500. acura put goodyears on it when i bought it and they seem are very loud. thanks for the imput. i think im going to go with them. why recommend 245/45s? the recommended tire is a 235/45 right?

The OE Michelin 235 tires stand 25.6" tall and the aftermarket tires BFG A/S 245/45-17 is 24.7", but the 235/45-17 is only 25.4". You'll also see better ride/handling capacity with the 245 tires.

Hey, I have an 05' TL and have been running the BFG GForce Super Sports A/S ! These run Great, and get bout 30,000 maybe out of them. They handle sweet in the rain and on dry roads here in Dallas. My stock chrome 5stars have had 4sets of tires and now DiscountT says that 3 out of four wont hold air because of chrome-peel. Not sure if anyone else has had this problem BUT would love to hear about it . . . -M

My BFG Gforce Super Sports A/S, 245/45r17's Rock ! ! ! and look Good . . .

I ran the G-force KDW-2 and G-force Sports. The KDWs were a good performance tire with excellent braking. Rain perfomance was very good. But the noise was unbearable. I swapped them out with over half the tread left because it was impossible to carry on a conversation and my two 12W6s had a hard time drowning them out.

The Sports were average. Very stiff sidewall for average response and turn-in. Traction was average for a summer tire. Wet traction was average. The sidewalls and tread area started cracking after a year. My friend has these on his Mustang and he had the same cracking.

I went with the Nitto NT05 and will never use anything else. Best all around summer tire out there. And they're quiet too.

Told you so. And trust me, they only get louder as they wear, much louder.
