Excess wear on this set

By maliburenter

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about g-Force Super Sport A/S:

I had a prior set purchased in 2009 which did quite well and lasted over 30k miles. This set, purchased in summer 2011, lasted less than 11k miles and need to be replaced. I had the alignment checked and it needed almost no adjustment.

Same car, same tire shop, same driver. I don't know what the difference is. I did notice when I bought the tires that I could tell a difference between the tread in the center and the outside. A slightly lighter grey on the outer rows of treads.

Oddly, the front tires have a different manufacture date, and have lasted much longer than the rear tires.

The tire store is also surprised. They are checking with bfgoodrich/michelin for credit on other tires. I will probably switch to something else.

Comments about g-Force Super Sport A/S:

I have more than 35K on these tires and I think they are fine. I put them on my BMW Z3 and it corners like it's on rails.

I don't know why others would have issues with this tire. They are for sports cars and should have a good, tight suspension that's aligned. I've gotten good wear from them. A techie who works for me told me they are excellent tires, good for high speed, etc. He knows everything else, so I have to trust him (and my own experience) on these tires.

Tires have to have good pressure, be balanced and rotated and the suspension has to be in good alignment. If not, you are not going to get good results.

I am close to needing another set and am looking to replace with the same type. I really like how they drive and stick to the road like glue...

Tech Specs Tires(30 part numbers)

XL = Extra Load

*This warranty will be in effect for all 30 “Z” speed rated tires, and will be retroactive for all tires purchased from an authorized BFGoodrich® tire dealer on or after Jan 1, 2011. Some vehicles come from the vehicle manufacturer with “split fitments” – meaning different size tires on the front and rear axles. Because these tires cannot be rotated as recommended by BFGoodrich®, the mileage warranty on each rear tire will cover half the number of miles as the standard mileage warranty for that particular tire design.

Example for g-Force™ Super Sport A/S (“Z” speed rated) with 35,000-mile limited treadwear warranty:

2008 Nissan 350Z Roadster Enthusiast

Front: 225/45R17 (35,000-miles)

Rear: 245/45R18 (17,500-miles)

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.

>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.

>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.

DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.

For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

W-Speed Rated Sizes:

Maximum Speed (mph) 118 124 130 136 143 149 155 161 168

Inflation Increase (psi) 0 1.5 3.0 4.5 6.0 7.5 7.5 7.5 7.5

Load Capacity (% of max) 100 100 100 100 100 100 95 90 85
