Default Run Flat tires----> Firehawks vs G-Force

I have had the Firehawks on for about 18,000 miles and it is time for new tires.
I have been very happy with them but I may try the G-Force runflats for a change (plus I get a free G-tech if I order them ;) )

Anyone have any experience with the G-Force runflats, good or bad?
Thanks! :cool:

I had them and they were a great tire. I don't know how they fare in comparison with the Firestone's but I was really happy with them and I think you'd be too. They never let me down in the grip department unless it was raining Plus a free Gtech isn't a bad deal......

I switched from the BFG's to the Bridgestone S03 (non runflats) and they are a fabulous tire too.

Let us know what you decide.

Thanks guys,
I decided on the Firehawks again as I was really happy with them, and also because my fronts still look new, so I only had to order 2 new tires instead of 4.
I just got them from Tire Rack, should be here by mid week.

I'm giving serious thought to the BFG SSS when I GY's wear out in the next couple of months.
