“Good Tire, reasonably priced. Good drive on both wet and dry surface. just replaced after 24000, driven mostly on rural roads. Only down side, hopeless in heavy snow, no traction as proven in winters of 2009 and 2010.”

Apart from my review (only 500 miles driven), there seems to be a mix up with the BF Goodrich car summer tires. There is only one g-Force Profiler tire in the EU market(not a g-Force Profiler and a g-Force Profiler 2 - they are one and the same). There used to be a BF Goodrich Profiler (without g-Force) in the past, which was replaced by the BF Goodrich Profiler 2 (again without g-Force), which recently was replaced by the BF Goodrich g-Grip existing today. In conclusion, there are only two BF Goodrich high performance summer tires, the g-Force Profiler (for rim sizes 15-20 and profiles mostly 50-35) and the g-Grip (for rim sizes 13-17 and profiles mostly 70-55).

Had these tires on the front of my car for six months now and have driven them in all conditions bar snow ! They are a proper road tire exellent in wet or dry , hot or cold !Lot of grip ! Not one of those sports tires that needs heating up to give maximum performance ! Have seen no signs of ware yet too unlike my previous Bridgestone's which wore on the edges ! Brought these for a bargain price of £53.00 each too !

The BF Goorich g Force Profiler is a typical low to mid cost tire, with lots of noise on wet tarmac, also when wet slippy pulling away from junctions, with a mostly crashy ride on all but the smoothest of road surfaces. This particular tire had a tendency to make my car oversteer on right hand exits from roundabouts and would not have been my choice of purchase as putting over 220 BHP through cheap tires is ludicrous, i purchased my car with these tires fitted and had them replaced as soon as funds permitted (Dunlop SP Sport Maxx XL) review to follow.

Fitted these tires in a bit of a rush at the start of the year but have been pleasantly supprised at how good they are for the price ! Compaired to the Bridgestone RE050A's I've been using they have a little more wet grip even if they are a little less progressive at the limit and this wet grip is available at lower temperatures too than the Bridgestone!Ride is much improved and feel very similar ! Don't know about wear yet but I'm expecting good things after reading the other reviews !
