Which tire is better?

[bwh13]

I'm getting ready to get wheels and tires finally and have narrowed the tires down to the Hankook RS232 or the BFG Gforce Sport, both in 225-50/15 on 15x7 wheels.

Any feedback on handling, wear, etc form current/former users?

I'm putting these on the S52 powered 2 door...I only drive it around on weekends mainly so long wearing isn't top priority, I want it to stick. No worries about rain, not much in Phoenix...

a lot of the Porsche guys liked the RS 232's when i was working at Porsche only.

i had some bad experiences with BFG's from a long time ago, so i am bitter.
i am sure they have improved since then though

Falken Azenis > BFG's!!!!!!!!

Take that for what ever you think its worth.

I have no idea how Azenis compare to hanKOOK's!

I'm assuming you mean RS-2, aka Z212.

Both of those tires are very good in the dry, fun tires for sure. I actually have the 225/50 R-S2 on my E30.

The R-S2 struggles a little bit in straight-line traction, both acceleration and braking. The BFG will be better for your S52 car. And the BFG will last quite a bit longer, it's a surprisingly good wearing tire.

Thanks for the input, Tire Rack has the BFG's on sale too $70 each...
