Default tires

I have 18x9's up front with bfg g force 245/45/18s and right now i have and 18x10 rim with 275/35/18s bfg drag radials in that back but they are bald. I need some new tires out back but the g forces i have up front are only made up to 275's, they fit fine since i think bfg's tires run big but id like to get something fatter without spending a fortune. Any suggestions?

The only thing thats pushing me towards the g forces are 1)cheap 2)matching the tread pattern with my front tires

I've heard they are reallllly good tires, especially for the amount of tread they START with. They aren't the best in rain, but coming from DR's, shouldn't be a big deal.

However, you probably aren't going to get that could of tread life. I've heard they compare very similar to Nitto DR's, about 12-18,000 miles.

Lol for some reason i do great with tread life i have ripped off over 10k on my bfg drag radials and i heard those were only good for 3-5 from a lot of ppl. And Im away at college from late august till early may every year so my car doesnt get that many miles put on it. The drags have been on the car since late 2005 so im sure i can get some years out of these hopefully
