Default BFG tires??

Is anyone using BFG G-Force sport tires on their C-5? I wanted some feedback before I purchased a set.

I've had BFG Gforce TA for the last 25000 miles and I have no complaints. I don't race, just use the car for DD and the tires are probably better then the goodyear crap that came on the car in rain or dry. From the way it looks, I'll probably get double the milage life out of them too, I only got 30000 out of the goodyear runflats. I'm at 25000 with the BFG and they have a lot of tread left.

I have the BFG KDW on my car and to be totally honest they are great performing tire wet and dry however i have noticed they are noisy on the road if you have the stock exhaust on the car. This used to anoy me but once i put longtubes and magnaflow exhaust on it i dont hear the tire noise anymore (LOL)

Exact same here. I didn't think they were loud but I don't hear them anymore for the same reason. I have heard that from several people though. Grip/handling wise they are great.
