Anyone have a recommendation on:
BF Goodrich g-Force Sport vs. Falken Ziex ZE-512.
I found both on America's tire website, bf-g for about $92 each or the falkens for $104 each.
Basically what are pros and cons of each? And which is best for daily driving (comfort, noise, durability, etc...)

Both are close to each other. The BFGs seem stickier then the 512s. They're also noisier too. The BFGs are a bit more performance orientated, not by much though. I would recommend the falkens for daily.

I have the g-forces on now. no major issues and they seem like they have good tread life. sorry, can't provide a comparison for the Falken's as I have yet to use them.

Get the g-force sports for sure. The falken ze-512 wear out really quick. Also the falkens are less forgiving if your alignment is out. The tend to feather really easily.

I have had both and the BF Goodrich g-Force Sport is the only ones I have bought a second pair of. The Falkens seemed to scrub a lot and did not last as long as the BFG's. The other big thing for me is the wet performance of the BFG's are night and day. Never Hydroplaned on the BFG's, can't say that for the falkens.
