Great tire! Had them for years, no where to be found this year. I'm over due and going with the Michelin Pilot Sports.

I've got BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDWS. I've been a fan of the BF's for years, but on this set I had a blowout at just over 10k on the front right and 15k on the right rear...no high speed (when the blowouts occurred) and I'm a stickler for proper tire pressure.

Well I learned how crappy they support their customers and wave bye-bye to Goodrich...I'm either going with the Kumho Ecsta SPT or Mayyyybe I'll try the Vredsteins out. Too bad though, I really have always liked the BF's.

They seemed fairly new at the time but I was not as impressed as their price tag suggests I should be. Not saying they're bad, just not THAT good.
