    BFGoodrich g-Force sport

    Recently I sold my weaves and went to 15" rims to run wider tires. After reading various reviews and comparing a couple different sets of tires I decided to get these.

    I've only put a few hundred miles on these but so far I have to say I really like them. These replaced pretty much worn out tr615s that I could spin in 2nd gear to redline, and chirp 3rd to 4th. Very noticable difference in amount of grip/traction.

    Good tire for the money imho.

    I was also thinking of getting these for my euroweaves. They are the only brand that makes a 215/50/15.

    What size did you get for the 15"...?

      I went with 205/50 for now, my current wheels don't have ideal offset otherwise I would have gone with 225/50.

        correct size is 205/55/15 and there are few quality choices in this size

          Yep, g-Force sport come in 205/55 as well. I chose 50 over 55.

            I currently have 205/55 and I find it to bubbly...I thought the 205/50 would to small, so I guess meeting in the middle with a 215/50 and see how that turns out..

              I have a set in 215 40 17 on my ARC8s, just got them mounted tonight so I can't really give a weighted opinion, but so far I like how they feel. Probably won't be able to beat on them till after I do my M52 swap though (very soon) since my m20 is about ready to kick the bucket.

                    I had these tires too. They were close to the wear bars and still had awesome grip in the dry. In the wet, however, I could almost not drive the car. No grip what so ever. Have you guys tried the tires in the wet yet? I bet they would be a lot better than mine, as mine were close to replacement time.

                      My 225/45-16 arrive today. The tread pattern is ugly as sin - even worse in person, but I'll see how they drive before I make up my mind.

                        X2, I have them in 225 50 15, there down right scary in the rain when they get worn, hydroplane like a bitch. I need a new set of tires for the up coming season and will most likely switch to something else.

                          I agree, if it wasn't for the 215/50/15 I would definitely go with another brand but there is no one else who makes that size.

                            You should try worn out rt615s in rain, pretty downright scary at any speed in a light chassis with lots of torque. I am talking about barely giving any throttle and spinning them, or forcing them to spin in 3rd while moving....

                            It has rained hard a few times here in CA, and I've been very happy with these tires. Of course if they are worn/bald that will be another story ;)

                              Don't have any close-ups.... I would just go with 225/50 if you can as the price difference is very little if they'll fit your wheels/ride.
