Cobra4B Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Neat... why are you selling them? I can run them in TTS right? I know a V710 or R6 would be better, but I'm looking for "cheap". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbodleimages Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I have 8 BFG R1's. Great shape. Lots of rubber, plenty of heat cycles left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra4B Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Pics? Never heard of this tire... everyone seems to flock to V710s or R6s. How does this compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbodleimages Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 The BF Goodrich G-Force R1 is the tire that the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge races on. It is as fast as the Hoosier and lasts at least as long as the Kumho V710. These tires are basically only available thru Tire Rack. Therefore you don't tend to see them often at the race track. My experience is that they are as fast as the hoosier R6's and they last forever. They don't fall off like the Hoosier. My '95 Cobra R loves them. I can't recommend them any higher. I would be comfortable racing these two sets the rest of the season. I want to take a shot at a track record in the fall and need to buy a new set and get them scrubbed in. I don't have a lot of space for a lot of tires. I will try and post a few pics this afternoon. They look a lot like the Hoosier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra4B Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Thanks Bob... I'm interested. Some pics would be great. I'm running 4-5 more HPDEs this year and looking to run in TTS and do SuperComp School in October at VIR. How many heat cycles would you guestimate they have left in them? When doing an HPDE my father and I both run the car back to back. Ballpark price for both sets? My Parents live in Greensboro and I see you live in New Bern.

robbodleimages Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Here are the photos. I am looking for $125 per tire. You can see the tread depth holes are still well into the first level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
