RE: Stock to 275/40 R17 Upgrade Question
G Force Sports are GREAT..they were my top choice but I went with the Falkens because the treadwear was 440 versus 340 for the BFGs....i have them in the biggest size (i think) they come in though (245/45/ZR17 WR99)... 
...i will probably go with some other similar falkens for the rear when I get my 17x10.5 DDs...check out your local Big-O as they are a Big-O only tire: Ziex ZE-329...they are very grippy....quieter than my previous BFG Comp T/A HR4s....even though they are made in japan not the USA...i would def buy them again

if you are nice enough to your DRs, you should get plenty of miles out of them
im at almost 5K on my MT ET Street Radials (and MT = SOFT and STICKY) and im showing little to no tread wear
i would guess that if you treat nittos kindly when driving daily, you can get 15K at least

[&:] I went with Falken Ziex ZE-512 275/40ZR17 on the backs (these are all season) 30k miles. They are not slics, but look pretty good. Stock size on the front is good.
