i like them both a friend of mine has the g-force ones and he likes them

and also what is the largest tire size i can get for the rear tires, i also kinda want to get skinnier ones in the front what size should i get for the front?

thanks guys

if you guys dont want to say wich ones would be better can you at least say what the bigges tire size i can get with stock bullits on a 02 gt would be and will the rear ones look bigger and fill out the wheel well better

 

I've got both and like them both. GSD3s on the GT and BFG KDWs on the Mach. As for the size, on 17x8s, I think the biggest you can get are 255/40s, maybe you can squeeze 275/40s, but I'm not sure.

 

i got eagle ones and they last a long time. i dont notice any wear since i got them. i dont know how good they are with traction because i have nothing to compare them to but they last long

 

I just got the BFG KDW II's (295/35/18) for the rear and so far they are great. IMO they look pretty aggressive. Either way you go, I think you will be happy!

 

Overall the GS D3 is definitely a better tire hands down. The KDW2 is a great tire, don't get me wrong, but there's been reports of uneven and strange treadwear. But that may have been fixed since this was when they first came out.

When it comes to tires, you get what you pay for.

If you can come up with the money, GS-D3's would be my vote

 

ok well i did some reaserch and i think im gonna go with the kdw2 im gonna go with 235/40/17 up front and for the rear i guess 255/40/17 i really want to get 275's in the back but A i cant find any and B i dont know if its safe but if you guys say i could run 275's safely them im gonna cause i want the rear to look boss as hell lol

 

Stick with 245/45/17.

A.) 40 sidewall on either a 235 or 255 will look like rubberband poop.
b.) there will be minimal difference really from the 235 to 255, just get 245 all the way so you can still rotate tires. Trust me, if you aren't willing to pay more for a better tire, no sense in just wasting that money when you can't rotate tires.

 

rotating directional tires is expensive. i also havent had rims and tires long enough to know though

 

can i get 275 though cause i really want them?

 

275's are too wide. If you want them that bad then get 9" rims. You lose mad sidewall strength when you bulge them out by sticking them on too skinny a rim.

I run 275/40/17 on all 4 corners with 95R rims. You should be able to find some rims for cheap on craigslist.

 

i just went ahead and got 255/45/17 in the back and 235/45/17 up front i hope the fronts dont look weird at all but i think its gonna look pretty good
