I currently have BFG G-Force Sport (summer tire) in the same size (245/50-ZR16), and they are very sticky (compared to my old Eagle GS-C's). Fairly inexpensive too.

Those were the ones I was actually looking at right now. They seem like the new KDW. How is the sidewall flex on corners?

FML, I was gonna wait until spring(tires are getting low, right at the inspection passing limit), the car won't be driven much, if at all during the winter, but that deal is nice. That's like $90/tire. Blah, I think gauges come first.

Had those for a year, def an excellent tire which id highly recommend


Had great wet weather traction, even in the freezing temps. Even saw some snow (~2-3inches) never really slipped/spun (abs didnt go off either). I put about ~8k on them and believe it or not the frilly things from the tire molds were still there on teh rears (not the fronts though, they got a bit warn down from excessive handling haha)
