#1) What tire are you offering for review (size, model, type (summer, A/s, winter, race, etc), price paid, miles driven on tires, etc):
215/45/17 BFGoodrich g-Force Sport UHP. Paid ~$600 / set @ recent Costco special. Driven few hundred miles as daily driver, most recently 80 miles @ Auto-X

and 20 miles on track.
#2) What is your geographic location:
Los Angeles, CA
#3) What types of driving events if any (Track, AutoX, Commute , etc):
Commute, Auto-X, track
#4) Percent of highway vs. city driving:
70/30
#5) Tires used previously:
Nitto Neogen's came with car when I bought it almost 2 months ago. They had maybe 10K of life remaining. Forced to replace due to developing sidewall blister in driver side rear tire.
#6) Your review and personal comments (Dry, wet, and snow, if applicable. Also, please compare to other tires used):
g-Force NVH similar to my used Neogen's. Naturally, great dry traction. Noticeably more howling when car is rolling on them. Great grip during braking. Surprisingly great straight & turning wet traction, especially in wet mud on a road course (this was during the skidpad portion of the Auto-X training course). Unfortunately, it seems the mud tore up the "brand-new" look of the tire, with very obvious mottling over any surface which came in contact with the mud slurry. The mottled surface is quite soft and has a texture of gummy eraser rubber. This was on all 4 tires.
However, the jury is still out if the tire produces moderate tramlining, or if my center diff is acting up.
Again, I took an auto-X training course, so I'm not nearly as aggressive in Auto-X as some others in this thread.
