Quick question Falken VS BFG tires

Chevyguy · 05-17-2002, 03:34 PM

I am getting ready to buy a set of tires for my 16" pony rims as it's time to take off the 215-65-15 Michelin Artic Alipn's on the 10 hole rims.

I have narrowed down to two choices both 245-50-16's

Falken ZIEX ZE-502's Z rated $356 for 4

BFG G force T/A KDW Y rated $476 for 4

This is for a daily driver, but I do want good tires. Mostly highway but like to bite into corners and have some decent launch traction and handle rain good. Dont want all season's as I have a great set of winter tires.

The Falken's appear to be similar in specs and I like the lower price, but if the BFG's are really that much better, that seems to be a good price for them.

Just looking for some feeback from you guys

TIA

For that much of a price difference I would go with the Falken's. I had a set of 245/50 on a set of ROH 's and was pleased with them. They hook pretty good for a street tire. When I stepped up to 94 Cobra rims I ran them again on the front with Nitto DR's out back.
