Do any of you guys have experience with the BFGoodrich g-Force tire? I'm considering getting these for the rear of the car when I get the rims widened.

Any input would be appreciated.

The closest size in a 19" to the OEM tire diameter is 285/30/19 I believe.

Blackrider had those on his G6. Might want to ask him.

From what Tire Rack states, the size is 285/35/19. The stock diameter is 26.7 and the 285/35/19 diameter is 26.7. That's only for this tire though. Other brands might have different diameters.

I can tell you they are LOUD. We have them on our yellow mustang and they are pretty intrusive on the road. I still support the Nitto INVO as the best choice for these cars for an all around (well, except for snow) tire

I can't find much info on the Nitto's. I am completely opened to them. Can you give me a link to some specs and pricing? I want at least a 275 tire. Thanks.

Thanks Rob. I did some searching and I think I can get them shipped locally for around $250 a tire. I'm crossing my fingers. If it works out these are the tires I'm going with.

Well, the $250 deal fell through. They said they could get them for $286. I can order them off of the website for $271 and shipping is free. I'll go that route I suppose.

I agree, they are loud. They sound like they're unbalanced all the time, in fact I had them balanced twice just to make sure. Other than that I liked them, they were sticky dry or wet, and looked great.
