GForce, S04 Or Continental DW?

Hi,

I just installed 4 brand new Bridgestone BFG Comp 2 A/S on my car. At first, it feels quieter than the stock tires. Second, steering wheel response feels better vs OEM. After driving with the new set, I felt like our OEM tires oversteer. Third, great traction on wet and dry roads even in curves. I have not had a chance to test it in the snow yet so I have no comment on that. Fourth, it looks aggressive on our car.

My only concern now that I have about 100 miles on the new tires is that for some reason at speed 70mph+, my steering wheel wobbles a little bit. It used to not do that with the OEM set. I'm not sure if the tires needs to be broken in or bad balancing.

rebalance,,,believe the best machine is roadforce(?) wheel weight could have fallen off.

Got some S04s and so far, so good. From what I hear the DSWs are a great tire if you need more longevity and more of an all season tire. For me, its a second vehicle that I'd like to get max (or close to) performance out of most of the time that I drive it. Should the S04s suck, back to the DSWs I'll go!

Did you get them locally? I got mine at Discount Tire in Cordova and they gave me a great deal.

Got them at the local Firestone and they beat Tire Rack out the door. And the guy there knew his poop.

I do need some tires for my daily driver though - will likely do Discount Online
