These tires in dry weather grip extremely well. In the rain they are awesome.

Oh my god, these tires are amazing in the rain/snow/sleet/dry. You can’t beat the price either! I’ve been pushing my GTI to the limit ever since. 5 stars!

Holds great on my vw gti

Much quieter than the Perelli tires they replaced. Excellent in rain and good dry grip as well, their limits are higher than you would legally be able to drive. Wear seems even, they don’t grab at grooved roads. They seem to ride smooth. Poor in snow and slush, very poor on ice.

I have these tires on my 2013 VW GTI. They are a perfect match for that vehicle. They are quite, handle great in wet and dry conditions, and are holding up very well. I moved to these from Michelin Pilot Super Sports because I wanted a longer life tire and have not regretted a thing. They are priced very well compared to other high performing tires in this range.

I did 3 months of homework on these tires, checking multiple websites. So far I’ve put 8,000 miles on them. I waited until I was able to drive in the snow before writing this review. I first noticed that I saved 1/4 tank of gas a week driving to work. They are quiet and in the rain I feel them gripping the road better than any tires I’ve had. This was great news in the spring and fall. In Ohio, the only season that counts is winter. The snow came and couldn’t wait to test them out but, first I had to shovel the driveway (we got over a foot of snow that night). I backed out of the drive and stomped on the gas… The tires dug in and the traction control light came on but, I had regained traction on the snow before the car told me I didn’t have any. No fishtailing all control. These will be the only tires I’ll ever buy for any of my cars.

Really great set of tires for the price. I like the aggressive look, wear is fantastic, and they have thick walls that protect your rims from curb rash.

My second set, great choice for wet/dry traction
Submitted by Carolinahunter on April 8, 2021
Wow. These greatly helped eliminate the torque steer in my Mazdaspeed3, which I didn’t expect. These beat the other performance tires I’ve owned in dry handling and braking. Much better than the ultra high performance summer tires I’ve had with the added advantage of the all-season wear index. Tire Rack ranked these #2 in their testing, tying the Michelins, but more reasonable priced. Get em you’ll love em.

These are so much quiet than my other tires i had. I bought 215/45/17 for XXR527 17X8.25 wheels. They look aggressive and the vehicle handles so much better. I would purchase again.

These tires are amazing. I have them on my mk4 gti and I can corner like a mad fool now. I highly recommend them.
Submitted by Gliscameria on April 12, 2021
My last set were pretty expensive perellis, that still managed to slip and dry rotted within two years. These G-forceses are awesome in comparison. They are the only tires I’ve ever run that don’t slip and I’m about a year into abusing them with very little signs of wear.
Submitted by caberrycaberry on April 14, 2021
Look great and ride well, but have only driven in dry weather. Quality of tire is impressive. I was worried since it was from amazon, but no flaws so far. Will give 5 stars once I get more weather tests on tires and meet the expectations.

Put these on my 2015 VW GTI, much better than the stock pirelli all seasons. This is a great cheaper alternative to the Continental DWS 06 high performance all season tires. I get the dry grip with no wheel spin unless I try to, and the stability and control on wet roads. I’ve only got to try these once in the snow/ice and they weren’t outstanding, but as long as you know how to drive in the snow these will serve you better than most stock all seasons. Road noise becomes a small issue from 45-55mph, but nothing you can’t ignore. Only put about 3,000 miles on them so far, loving every mile!

These tires were fine the first 15k or so miles. They now have 20k miles on them and the noise from these tires is unbearable. I just had them rotated and balanced and the noise is worse. They did perform well until they reached the current mileage. These tires also have a tendency to make the steering feel unsettled, the car wanders from left to right. Forget driving on any grooved roads, the tires wander all over the place. Again, these tires were fine and did not exhibit any of these characteristics when they were newer. 20k miles and they are down to 5/32’s all around, dumping these tires for some continentals.

I have a 04 350z so Grip is essential in these Cars ! I had a set of Michelin Pilot before these and I love these so far ! Really Good Grip for the price I got these at Pep Boys in 235/50/17 for my stock rear wheels ! I’ll be going to the drag strip next Friday so let’s see how they handle there !

I’ve had these on my Lincoln MKT for several months and have grown to appreciate what fine tires these are. I’m kind of looking forward to seeing how they perform on ice/snow… not that I want to spend another winter in Boston… but another grandchild is due in Dec., so I’m here till at least Feb.

Road harsh. Tires had to be sent back because they had high spots that wouldn’t allow for them to be balanced. For the 200 miles I drove on them they turned my car into a rattle box.
Submitted by F. Malik on June 22, 2021
I got these tires on a very low profile (P225/45R19) on my Mazda 6 and wow I can tell you that these tires can grip. I had stock tires before and always had some sort of slippage in wet conditions. I have taken sharp turns in rain on these tires, gone through standing water on the highaway at high speeds, and these guys can really hold on to the road. I’m very impressed with these tires and can conclusively say that I would get them again in a heartbeat. I have yet to experience them losing grip, even with very wet conditions on an aggressive launch at a traffic light, which my manual transmission allows me to do.

Let me start off by saying during the break in these tires were terribly slippery but after a hundred miles or so they got a lot better. These have absolutely amazing wet traction to the point where I couldn’t believe it, dry traction is great as well though I was hoping for a bit more. I’m able to overpower these tires and break them loose in first and second gear while moving by flooring it. I realize these are not summer tires and getting 375 ft lbs to the ground in a FWD drive car weighing less than 3000 lbs on 225’s is quite difficult. I can honestly say these have better dry and wet traction than any all season tire I’ve ever used. The ride comfort is pretty great too, amazing for an UHP tire. The only bad thing about these tires is the noise, very loud drone from 55-75MPH, the only reason I can’t say they’re the loudest tires I’ve owned is because I have mud tires on my truck. I’m also not so sure I like the feel of these tires or the feedback but objectively they respond well to driver input. I can’t say much for treadwear but strictly from a performance stand point these are great.
