Question G Force Tires Any Good?? 245 Maybe?

so I finally realized I need new tires...I raced against a 2013 Honda civic that was bone stock and ALMOST got beat. it was pathetic I looked like a fool! My car was burning rubber like crazy! tires spun and didn't get traction til about 50 mph no joke. so I need tires to help me hook when racing from a dig and also in other circumstances obviously lol I heard gforce tires were pretty good? any other tires u guys recommend? I'm kinda on a budget so not looking to spend more than 500 for all four. also what kinda difference would it make if I go from 235 to 245? thanks for the advice in advance!

I really like my BF Goodrich G-Force tires. But your going to spend a little over $600 for them. They hug the road like no tomorrow, You can pull some crazy G's. Entered my Monte in an SSCA santioned track Autocross event and won in the novice class. They hugged the track and let me do some crazy pulls out of the corners. That is all I have run on my Monte for 5 years now. I run the 255's all the way around, use 1/4 wheels spacers on the rear or else I rub the control arms. Worth it to me, got them off eBay and there is no state tax paid on them that way. Get some and kick butt!!!!

I have the G-Force on my Vette and love them so far. I did not have a lot of choices for the size...

I did not have to do anything to the suspension as fas as trying to make the tires fit. I even have the Eibach lowering springs on and everything still cleared. Just had to do the 1/4" wheel spacers on the rear only. These are my OEM factory 16" wheels. Had them powder coated Harley black. Try ebay for the tires... Here is a link from where I get mine from..... If you have larger rims just search their site... Go get em Cali Monte SS......

Treadwear isn't terrible, but you might only get about 15-20k miles out of them, less if you drive it hard
