Buying tires for my Lude and I'm stuck between the BF Goodrich g-Force Sports and the Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Positions. Anyone have any experience with either of these?

Bf goodrich because they don't have the stupid "because the wheel goes round" commercials. If we all stop buying bridgestone the marketing dept. will change strategies and I won't have to hear/see those commercials anymore.

I've got Bfgoodrich gforce tires. Did u know they come stock ont he srt4? Random fact. Anyways, runnin 19s with 235 in the front and 275s in the back. Yes they're for my lude (widebody) but to i havent driven them ON the lude. I put them on my friends 350z and HONESTLY, holy cow huge difference off his stock tires----which i cannot recall what they were. BUT where we always test our suspension by my house is this amazing W turn. its like an S and an S. In my lude the fasted i've ever takin it is 50 and that was pushing it. I originally have taken it at like 65 in the Z, and with these wheels n tires---i took it at 75, on my first try. And u can imagine i take that turn every flippin day driving out of my area. Right now i take it at about 35 in my Dodge van, mayB with some new struts i'll b pushin it up passed 90 haha

G-Force sports are a good tire but the S03's are in a whole different league. they were one of Bridgestone's top street tires and are a great buy if TireRack still has some on clearance. if the price is similar, buy the S03s right away

if you can't get the S03's I'd personally go for the BFG KDW2s that Akber tried rather than the Sport if you can afford it.

Lol, Bridgestone's commercials suck. Half the time they have nothing to do with tires. And yes, my buddy has an SRT-4 and all the guys at the meets with the 04's and 05's have g-Force sports.

how about Toyo Proxes T1-R 's? www.edgeracing.com

dvsracergirl · 09-07-2006, 04:05 PM

having both on cars i would say if you can afford the S-03 then get those. or like disengage said the kdw2. The s03 has great tread wear.....its great in all weather conditions....side walls a just stiff enuff for daily but give enuff for moutain driving. Toyos are a good tire but theyre too noisy. nothing worse then getting a tire that wears fast and makes more noise than my exhaust....no matter how much or how cheap.

s-03 might cost a but more but they last longer and provide great performance till they die. i put s0-3 on all my cars from my rx7s to my sti and prelude...my supra and silvia friends all use them.

After reading reviews and such, I decided to go with the g-Force sports. I'm having them shipped to my work and getting them put on probably tues.

love my KDW2's...excellent traction and great tread wear, just make sure to roate often if you have a heavy foot. I love the traction in the rain also.
