got new tires, an option for those looking

hey guys. i just got some new tires yesterday, and i have had these before on my 02' s4, but wasn't sure how these would do on the TL.

but, all the reasons i liked them for my audi, i like them just as much on this car.


i'm talking about the BFG g-Force Super Sport A/S. now, i specifically was looking for a tire that was not a Silica based all season, as i do drive aggressively, and in the summer months i just tear those suckers up. so they are most definitely close to a 3season tire, but i have found them to be safe in snow on both the TL and on the Audi.

tire rack (hyperlink above) rates this tire as low 5's in the winter category, but i've found them to be quite good. they do slip, but i find them to be very reassuring in the snow, since they don't give false confidence. they aren't as good as the continental conti-extreme-contact tires when it comes to snow and ice, but they are far far far quieter, and have a firmer...less "twitchy" turn-in. and track really well on roads, especially the ones torn up by semi's.

they are a wider tire than the falken 452's tho, for those who are LOW hehe.

anyways, just wanted to give you guys another option on tires, but something based more towards our more liked 3 seasons of the year.
