BFGoodrich-G-Force Comp 2 A/S
Anyone running this tire and have any feedback on it? I was stupid and waited too long to get a rear camber kit after lowering my TL. I destroyed my Kumhos and can no longer deal with the vibration and road noise. From what I've read the G Force is getting very good reviews and is reasonably priced in my area, over $100 less per tire when compared with Continental DWS which is what I was initially looking at.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I'm really torn on whether to just go with the BF Goodrich or pay a little more to go with something like:
Michelin - Pilot Sport A/S 3
OR
Michelin - Primacy MXM4

The PS AS/3 wears out so fast. Even with 45K mileage warranty, I am at 8"/32 only after 6K miles. This is on my 3G TL so it might be a little different from the 4G. They handle well, ride nicely, and are quiet.
I also have Primacy MXM4s on my 4G. These are touring tires so handling is nothing to brag about. They seem to last longer than the AS/3s. I am at 8"/32 after 15K miles. In terms of road noise and ride comfort, they are about the same as the AS3, For the price, I personally would not buy these again.
From what I've read, the BF Goodrich are good but they tend to be noiser as they wear. I would look at the Pirelli Cinturato P7 AS PLUS, the new PZero AS, and the Continental DWS06.

OP, I don't have any input on the tires you initially inquired about in your post, but can provide some input on a similar line of tire.
Ratings, reviews and specifications for Falken Azenis FK450 A/S tires
This is the second set of Falken tires I've had on the TL. The first set came with the TL when I bought it and I really enjoyed them, so I decided to give Falken tires another try. The FK450 is their newer version of the obsolete FK452. In my opinion, they are an affordable tire that run quite and grip really well. However, I still need to wait for a rainy day in SoCal, to determine if they handle just as well as the old FK452 tires under wet conditions. Hope this helps in providing you options.

So after a lot of research and consideration of what will work best for me I ended up going with Primacy MXM4. I have a 1 year old so I don't think it's worth throwing on really sporty tires when I might only be alone in the car once a week. Hopefully I won't regret these but I got a very good deal on them.
Thanks to everyone who provided advice and feedback.

So annoyed, shop refused to install the 245/40r19 94V tires claiming that the load rating was wrong...they said I have to send these ones back and get 98 load rating lol they have no clue what they're talking about. I agreed because they offer the best price in my area but they clearly have no idea what they're doing since the factory 19" optional wheels run a 94 load rating.

I would have if it wasn't for the fact that when you order from this place the install is included in the price and paid up front. The 98 load rated tires should be in soon but still a nusance for me. I guess the higher load rating comes with a higher speed rating with a bit of a stiffer sidewall. The guys that work there are good guys, it was clearly a mistake on their end thinking that because the oem 17" tires are 98 load rated that all tires sizes would require that rating.

Just a quick update that I finally got the Michelin - Primacy MXM4 tires installed. Initial impressions are that they are fairly grippy and confidence inspiring but I actually find them to be a little noisier than expected. I ended up with a 98 load rated tire so the sidewalls are fairly stiff. Overall I'm happy with them but wouldn't recommend them to someone who wants a really quiet tire.

(P.S. your description of ordering process and available brands sounds strangely familiar to me... does the shop usually have a $70-off coupon for tires, and hotdog+soda for $1.50 ???)

Haven't logged in for a minute, but if it's not to late for others like to put my lil in this if you don't mind.
Purchased the tires aound 6 to 7 months ago to go along with my brand new wheels because I did a bunch of research on it & couldn't be happier with the purchase. To me for the price it's a way better deal than the Michelin Pilot. Hope this helps whomever plans on getting a set.
