The g-Force Sport is BFGoodrich's Ultra High Performance Summer tire designed for Sport Spacedrivers ,who want to combine outstanding dry handling with affordable prices. The g-Force Sport was developed to provide crisp and responsive handling in both wet and dry conditions. Like all summer tires, the g-Force Sport is not intended to be driven in near freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
On the outside, the g-Force Sport molds BFGoodrich's BlackTech tread compound into a directional tread design with large independent shoulder tread blocks, g-Hook intermediate ribs, two continuous center ribs and two wide circumferential rain channels to blend superior dry cornering, capable wet traction and straight-line stability.
Internally, the g-Force Sport features twin, high tensile steel belts that are further strengthened by BFGoodrich's ETEC System (Equal Tension Containment) spiral-wrapped reinforcement to stabilize the tread area enhancing handling and high-speed capability. A dimensionally stable polyester cord body and g-control sidewall inserts help resist lateral deflection to generate cornering force and stability.

Hey Space this might sound strange
Try the local junk yard
They might have an 06-07 Monte or Impala with low miles on her with great tread left on the tires.

Thanks Michael ~Mrrench~
We have been calling around, but there isn't that many auto salvage yards close.
My grandfather has a few friends that he is contacting.
My grandfather will alway loan me the money for things I need, but
never for things I want : ) Oh, + interest.
He's a believer in earning your own way...His quote "No Free Lunch `Space" : )

Hey, your dealership didn't offer you the wheel and tire protection package with your car? It was about $5 extra a month for mine. The wheels and tires, whether factory or aftermarket are covered for ANY damage, whether my fault or not, for the entire time I own the car.
