Any ideas where to get BFGoodrich G-Force for cheap?

[Losiracer2]

okay, made up my mind on tires, BFGoodrich G-force sports. But Discount tire wants $569 for them with certificates. AND I used to work there! rediculous. I also recently worked for Fletcher's in AZ and they want 600 for Firehawk Wide Ovals, a little bit better of a tire but still 600. Shit i cant seem to get a deal anywhere nowadays. I think whats killing me is the tax of 45 bucks. Is there somewhere I can get them online for cheap shipped to my door? then i can have my buddy thats still works at Fletchers mount and balance them. Anybody know of any links to places that stock them? I was hoping to keep it under 500 for all 4.

Well, I got those on my stock 94-95 accord ex rims (195/55/15). Good thing I work at Ford. I bought mine when the company had an additional 15% off regular employee's discount; therefore, I paid about 250. And I mounted and balanced the tires myself. Before I had bought the tires, I had searched through ebaymotors, and I found this one ebay store that sold some pretty nice tires for decent price. Although, at the time I wanted to get Hankook RS-2's, but the company couldn't get them for me. Overall, the G-Force tires are wearing pretty good even though my front is dropped 1.5 and 1.25 in the rear. They are nice tires, but I wish had gotton the Hankooks online instead.

Are g-force sports good in the rain?

How do they compare with the traction t/a's?

Sorry

[Losiracer2]

yeah, they're excellent in the rain and dry, quiet on the highways too. But the size i need are 215/45r17, so they're gonna cost more than a 195/55r15 thats for sure. I mean i know how to mount, spin and balance tires, i used to work for discount and fletchers so thats a piece of cake, but the word "used to" means i cant do that myself anymore unfortunately. But what i was thinking was, I found a place, onlinetires.com, they have free shipping on them to my door for 432 (108 a tire). do u think places would let you buy road hazard certificates even if you got the tires somewhere else? even though they sell that brand of tire?

Yeah tirerack is more expensive like 615 for the set, plus i have to pay tax on them, since i have to pick them up at a discount tire store, they charged 7.8% AZ sales tax.

Consider yourself lucky at 7.8% tax, if i buy new tires, i have to pay 13%. and they just recently brought it down.. However i only pay 25% of what they retail for.

Shit happens. Tires are not cheap.

Why the g-force?

Why the g-force?

why not? they're quality tires, i want them for grip in wet and dry, noise on highway, and they're predictability when cornering.

check out the Khumo Escta. Good thread wear, traction, speed rating and absolutely no highway noise. I can barely chirp mine going into 2nd with my H22. Only cost about $80

not bad, are they Z rated tires? or H rated? cause i only want Z rated for the traction. maybe that's why their so cheap?

Yes and no. the tire size is 225/40ZR18 88W, the Z means it is rated in excess of 149MPH and the W means it can handle up to 168MPH. The only higher rating is Y rated at 186MPH.

This link explains it all.

The speed rating does not determine the traction, just how fast it can go without tearing apart from the heat generated. here is a link to determine the traction and threadwear of a tire.

eidt: I just went and checked mine- Threadwear 200/ Traction AA/ Temp A
