BF Goodrich G Force sport

[Rob Furniss]

I've just put 2 x BF Goodrich G Force sports on the front today for $161 each (205/50/R16), seem like a good tyre and a good price, anyone else have/had them?
Oh and had my alignment done - it was massively out, the guy pointed out that the top of the wheel was angled in loads as soon as he saw the car, it was good for centering the wheel though.
They didn't have the alignment figures so were scratching their heads for a while so I got them from ftooc on my Android - hope they didn't change between pre facelift and facelift.

What is the thread wear of these? Good thing about having stock 16" wheels is the tyre comes cheap!

I currently have these on, had them for about 8 months now and theyre only just starting to squeal, but just needs a rotation, still a fair belt of tread on them.
On one occasion (the other night actually after a sh*tty night) i tried to see how far i could put the car sideways (as ive never pushed my car around the corners much) and they just dont wanna let go of the road - PLENTY of grip, cant fault them as of yet - if i dont change rims when the tyres are due i will most likely get a second set - good choice

I haven't done many k's so can't comment on wear but I like the grip and the look.

There's a thread wear number on the sidewall. For example, my kumho ku36 are 180.

If your front wheel is cambered more than original specs your suspension is bent. Front wheel camber is not adjustable.

Well I don't know what he did as it's no longer angled in and no longer self centres like it used to, I didn't check but maybe it has camber bolts fitted like the ones you can get from camskill, i'm no suspension expert though (well not really an expert at anything to be honest!)
