Need some tire help?

[ohioLS]

I am currently in debate with myself concerning tires for my new wheels, which are due here on Wed. Please anyone with any info or opinion on these 3 selections please reply. Thanks. Oh I am going with a 245/45-18.

I like the yokohamas.

I run the same size on mine.

BFG G-Force T/A KDW

I might add that they are not for the faint of heart or those whoe prefer a quiet ride.

They are loud and aggressive and a bit unforgiving. But if you want to go around corners rally fast in the wet or dry, these cannot be beat.

Well a couple of my friends told me no BFGs cause their tread life is horible.
Thanks!

Check out the Yoko Avid V4s vs. the Yoko's you listed. The V4s is a great tire. I have run about 1500 miles on them now and they have been great thru all kinds of driving, low to no road noise, great handling, awesome price.

I drive 80 miles a day and have put about 10K on them so far and have noticed no major issues with tread life.

I drive pretty hard on the corners too.

I guess I never think about treadlife when looking at a performance tire. A lower treadlife has to be expected if you are actually going to use them to their full potential. Otherwise, what is the point in buying a performance tire?

Well believe it our not they make some better then others and I have read reviews after reviews about tires. I just dont want to spend 180-250 for a single tire that can only get 10k miles out off it, thats all.
