I have kuhmo supra 712 (205/50/r15) and they kick ***, I suppose there are better tires, but my car already corners violently and so fast that I cant keep sitting strait. so Until I get a racing harness, I wont need anything better.

The BFGs are tight. I work at Michelin (they own BFG) and every time I drive by some G-Force T/As or Pilot Sports I start drooling. I'll probably get a set of G-Force KDWs for my car next. What size were you looking at?

I have heard they kick some pretty good ***. also heard they are a little unprebictable at the limit.
If you can get it there. I figure if they can get a Corvette do do better than one g onthe skid pad than my rex should be able to do it pretty well.. very excited. Getting full suspension and exhaust in the next 2 weeks.

The Kumhos are incredible tires. They're progressive at the limit, relatively long-wearing (although my friend's already scrubbed the shoulders bald after less than 2500 miles, but he drives hard and the rims are a tad narrow for the tires) and the wet weather ability is supernatural. Picture a little Escort driving 40+mph into deep water (6" or so!) and NOT HYDROPLANING.

Too bad they don't make them in 13" sizes.

Hey have any of you had 205's rub in the front when you turn all the way? a guy to me his 712 205's rub in the front sometimes, but he rarely turns the wheels that much.
