Comments about g-Force Super Sport A/S:

I daily drive a 1989 BMW M3. I have used 2 sets of the G-Force Sports and really like them. One set was All Season and the current set is summer tires, since they discontinued the All Season in my size. Wonderful grip, good ride and wear well. Relatively quiet. I have used Bridgestone and Michelin. I like the BF Goodrich better by far.

Comments about g-Force Super Sport A/S:

I've been driving Stangs for over 20 years and these are by far the best tires I've bought for all weather driving. Great dry performance and no hydro planing like others that I've had, especially Goodyear Eagles which are terrible on wet, slick roads. Great tires for the money!

DRY ROT!!! Don't Buy

By Disgusted in KY.

Comments about g-Force Super Sport A/S:

As soon as I bought my 99 Vette (09) the first thing I did was to take off the run flats. I went to [@], the reccommended tire was the BF Goodrich g force supersport AS. I purchesed them without hesitation. Only to find out after a few months that there were no guarantee's at all on them due to them being what the dealer called low profile tires. Then after choking on that I didn't even approach the dealer about the dry rot that followed shortly and it's all happened before the 6yrs. and the 35,000 miles..So you got me once but not again. Will be putting nitto's on within two weeks.

The sizes and/or speed ratings listed may vary slightly from the specified OE size shown on the vehicle placard. Your local Tire Dealer, as a trained professional, will provide the required assistance to install the tire listed by: 1. Notifying the owner if the replacement tires are different in speed rating than the OE tires and the maximum speed capability of the vehicle is limited to the lower speed rated tires. 2. Determine if any inflation pressure adjustments are necessary with the alternate listed size.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is for a tire only (i.e., excluding services such as mounting, balancing and tire disposal) and is applicable for the contiguous United States. Actual pricing may vary based on retailer, region, tire size and other factors. Retailers are free to set individual prices. Please check with your local BFGoodrich tire dealer for pricing near you.

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
