Tire Brand suggestion. I need 215/45/17...
I am going to need new tires soon and I just got back into the market. I was gonna get the BFG gforce sport but a bunch of ppl told me they suck. I went to my local tire store (I know the owner real good) and they can hook me up with Toyo Proxis4's for 400 dollars installed. I was like damn for Toyos that seem like a real good deal. I have not heard anything from anyone about the Toyo Proxis. What do you guys think?
of these which should I get?
-Toyo Proxis4
-BFGoodrich g-Force Sport
-Yokohama AVS ES100

There's nothing wrong with BFGs. They're quite good tires, I'm sure a bunch of ricers told you they sucked because they weren't Nittos or Toyos or some **** like that.

Rep Power: 263 I have the Toyos (same size and make) and I like them real good tires stick to the road very nicely! So far that's what I plan on sticking with. But the BFG's are nice as well they have good grip.

Rep Power: 0 After many suggestions and reading I finally got some Hankook Ventus R-S2 Z212. The reason is they "supposedly" handle the same or better then the Azenis Rt-615's, according to some Auto-x and road race posts, but a little cheaper. The tires just came in today but I'll post my official opinion on the tire the first chance I get to try them out. FYI :Honda-tech has an entire thread about the tire. Just search for Hankook to find the thread.

Boiler echoes my sentiments. I have BFG GForce KDW on my ride, and sell a shitload of GForce Sports. They are nice tires, and have had zero complaints. One guy at last rotation had a little over 30K on them and a fair amount of tread remaining.
