As a general purpose tire the BFG is ok I guess. I mean it works for what's intended end use is. V8's lay far more power into those tyres than they were designed for, so hence the slippin' and a slidin' that people experience. But for day to day driving they are ok - and they don't wear out. Unless you're really really trying.

For track use they are too hard and just don't get the bite that other tyres do. The flip side is that they'll slide with predictability and will let go gradually, whereas other tyres will hold on right to the raged edge THEN land you in a whole world of trouble unless you're really on your game.

Now another question - Which smokes the best ?
