Default Tires..BF Goodrich G-Force or Summi HTR+

Looking for some new tires for my 2000 GT. I have it narrowed down to the BF Goodrich G-Force Super Sport A/S or the Sumitomo HTR + tires. Will be going with 275/40-17 . Currently have the sumitomo HTR-Z and they have been decent for the money. So which should i go with?? I cant spend a ton of cash so these are the two in my price range. Thanks.

kdw's are decent, geforce sports are good for the front. Summi tires belong on honda civics not cars that make more than 200 rwhp

You must not be making much power if you think Sumitomo's are decent for their money lol.

who said anything about power?? I have a 2000 GT.. I have never mistaken my car for being powerfull or fast.I When i said they were decent for the money, i meant they are cheap a** tires. They have not been great, but i wouldnt expect them to be for the money i paid for them.. I am simply looking for the best tire i can afford at the moment.
