Full Version: g-force R1
I corded my tires at the AX at Marina on Saturday and when going to Tire Rack to order new ones noticed that BFG has a new R-compound tire out. It looks pretty interesting. Anyone tried these yet? How do they compare to Hoosiers or V710s?
I haven't read the full article yet,(just got it Friday) but Grassroots just did their side by side testing of the r-compounds. Included was the R-1, and they give there impression of the tire.

So.... What did they say?

Dunno how the BFG's compare, but did you know that tire rack has the V710's on closeout for $70 less per tire than the BFG's?

Unfortunately they don't make 710s in my size, so I am choosing between g-force R1s or Hoosier A6s.

Ahhhh. These must be for your Boxster then.

These are for my 17s which fit both my Boxster and my 914/6 (back up wheels).
225/45R17 and 255/40R17
I think I'm going to go with the BFG R1s
