BFGoodrich g-Force or General Exclaim UHP

jpsimon · 03-18-2009, 01:40 PM

I'm trying to decide on tires... the size I need to run properly on my XI are 235/35/19 front, 265/30/19 rear.

The g-force would be $270 more total... do you think it's worth it to get those over the Generals?

Are they the BFGoodrich with the wild tread pattern? If so, get those.. They look pretty cool and I'm pretty confident they perform better than the Generals.

jpsimon · 03-18-2009, 02:11 PM

yeah they have the crazy tread

BoostedCosta · 03-18-2009, 02:11 PM

sorry but this shouldnt even be a question u should get the g forces, genrals suck
idk about xi but on the i i hate them

I just got the exact same setup for my xi with the g-forces. The rolling diameter is almost an exact match!

The only feedback I have is that once the g-force tread wears a little bit it gets loud.

Now if you are like me and want the car to look really agressive the g-force tread pattern cannot be beat and the tire noise isn't such a bad thing because the exhaust and engine are going to drown it out anyway

This has been widely discussed in the xi forum and most if us concluded it is safe. Besides you can get an xi from BMW with a staggered setup and they list approved staggered tire sizes so I would imagine its just fine.
