Default Just got BFG G-force sport tires.

Just got the BF Goodrich G-force sport tires. I was having trouble finding a place that had the Kumho Ecstasa SPT in stock and I didn’t want to hassle with ordering them online and shipping and this and that, so I went and got the geforce sport tires instead. Feels kinda weird to have new tires and I think I need an alignment cause it is pulling to the left. I don’t think its safe to try to correct the steering all the time when it is pulling left. I don’t get any vibrations, so I know the tires were balanced properly. So I will get the alignment looked at.

Hopefully I made a good choice by getting these tires.

My mom's 318is had those tires. I was surprised at how well they worked. But they didn't like to sit.

You didn't. They're terrible tires and should be taken off their line as they did w/ the scorcher tires. I had them before and they didn't grip well in dry and the wet traction was dangerous. Hydroplaning @ 60 and as many are stating, they didn't sit at all.

I was going to buy them but the salesman at Discount Tire was strongly against selling them to me. He said that they are terribel tires. I got Pirelli P Zero's instead and I love them.

Well I did get an alignment and now the car goes straight and no pulling to the left or right.

Well these tires are ok. I haven’t really pushed them so I don’t know how the grip. I like how there is less road noise than the KDWs, but not sure how the noise will be once the thread start to wear.

ive had these tires for a year and a half and the treadwear is fine, ill get another halfyear or so out of the fronts, the backs still have a lot of tread left, (i dont rotate fwd car tires) and thats on stage3 power levels spinning the shit out of them everyonce in awhile. they improved my handling of the car when i first put them on compared to the stock bfg's. Ive had no problems with hydroplaning in bad rain - but i also drive the speedlimit in the rain to avoid even having that situation...
