STOP don't get the BFG - G-force I have them and they suck very bad, I had the 295/35/18 and the 295/45/18 and hate them. My winter tire is the Toyo proxie's and those are ???/50/17. This is the tire that I am going with after the BFG's are gone.

Eh... I have the BFG g-Force T/A KDW tires, 295/35-18 in the rear. (265/35-18 in front). I can't complain about them because it is a WORLD better than my factory bald tires. With the factory tires on dry pavement, I could break traction in 1st at about 4800 RPM... just going WOT, the back end would lose it. No chance of that happening with these... I can hit them hard from a stop and 2800 RPM or so and they'll slip, but they catch up and grip fast. They are regular street tires.

2VNA- Are the tires you have the T/A KD's or are they a different model... if they're bad for a regular street tire what other tire would u recommend?

They are kind of expensive, about 900 for all four at tirerack, does anybody else have any suggestions?

If you can I would go wider. The wider... the better your car will grab. I don't know your wheel width but if you can I would recommend at least 285 or wider if possible. I went with 285's michelins and I wish I went bigger.

Honestly go to Tire Rack they were very helpful to me. Tirerack is probably one of the best tire websites going.
