Default New tires

Finally bought something that will hook up. They are BFGoodrich G-force KDW's. So far I like them, they hook up much better then my old Yoks. I went with a 255 front and 285 rear. No rubbing, but with the 255 in the front the steering seems to be a lot more touchy. It feels much better around the corners though. Here are some pics.

That is the exact same set I just bought. I've had them on the car for about 2 days now. I like the tires, but now I'm even more worried about my camber.

think taking the Pressure down a few psi in the front tires will help the touchyness (made a word there)??

are you planning on doing any events with those tires? I have the kumho mx and i've been seriously considering these as replacements but I was things to improve.

Nice. What offsets and width on those TE37's? I've got 10.5 +22 offset and looking for tires. Those look sweet.

Very nice look. I also went with 255 in the front and 285 in the rear and also noticed a difference in the handling. However, mine are Michelin Pilot Sports in 20's. FYI - I spoke with Hotchkis Tuning and Titan Motorsports and they indicated new sways should take care of it. I was also looking to lower it with Hotchkis springs but they indicated I do not have enough room in the front. They suggested coilovers and I'm now waiting on TEIN Basics to go with Hotchkis sway bars. Should be done next week.
