GR Beta FK-451 Vs. g-Force Sport - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

***S14DB*** · 08-25-2005, 04:22 AM

I'm looking at getting the BF Goodrich g-Force Sport or the Falken GR Beta FK-451. They are the same price. I'll be running 225/45-17 up front and 245/40-17 in the rear. The other tires I looked at are ether to expensive(Pirelli) or didn't have both sizes. I'm running the BFG's right now and like them. I just wonder if the Beta's are better?

Are you planning on stretching them? Take into account some tires stretch better than others...

s14db, marry me, cuz were meant to be...i was just about to ask for opinions about the same two tires and same two sizes...c'mon dont deny it, were meant for each other...

...but i would also like to know if any of you had good or bad experiences with these tires...my wheels are coming in within the week and ive narrowed it down to these two (maybe st115s)...all my friends are saying FKs...but then again, bfg's marketing dept did a good job, cuz i fell for that ad featuring the evo with bfg getting the highest skid pad on a test...i need to decide soon, but im leaning towards the FKs

falkens for sure.

They are going on 17x9"+20 rims so the front will have a mild stretch.

i have the fk's and i think they're great(but thats comming from ziex 512 205/50/15). But all my friend say the sidewall is very weak and the tire flexes a lot. *shrug*

fk451's. i'm not a big bgf fan, but when you wear down the fk451's they get really grippy as they use the same compound as the azenis rt215's
