The G-Force Sports are slightly less sticky than the Traction T/As, but they still are pretty good. And do very well in the rain.

I learned that cheap tires will give you sh**ty ride. Don't be cheap on tires man, your life might depend on them.

Also be prepared to spend at least $25 to install a low pro tire...

Sounds like a decent tire at a good price. The size is a little large though. The 205/40/17 are virtually identical in size to the stock tires. The 215/45/17 will cause your speedometer to read 5% slower than you are actually going. Keep that in mind.

actually only 2.2%. When speedo reads 60mph, you are actually going 61.4mph or something.
