rdorman,

The Goodyear B tires from Kraus are so much better than the BFGs there is simply no comparison as far as performance is concerned. I have the treaded tires for street and the slicks for track and while I dont push the car on the street, the feel is very similar. I always feel safe with the Goodyears and I always felt that the BFGs were about to break. As for construction, the tires are very light weight and as you would expect, thin walled. I'm sure their resistance to road hazzard damage is poor but as Duane says the improvement in handling is so marked that the trade off is justified in my mind.

Cheers, Pete
