Default Mine are Made in USA and

are almost perfectly round, and seem very good. What made the others crap?

I'm nto sure QC is country-specific. I saw a bad batch of BS PP's from Japan, and good, round ones from Mexico.

Default I've run the BFG KDW 2 (see post below) and they are ok but I've heard so much better things about

the GY F1 GSD3. What are your requirements/preferences for tires?

Default I just got nervous hearing about sidewalls blowing out and people never getting them to balance

time after time, but then there are many people who say the tire is just awesome.

what sizes are guys running?

I want to run the BFG but am affraid it might be too loud according to other people

Default As I said, my US Made GSD3s were perfectly round ( balanced) - vastly

..better than the Bridgestone's they replaced.

Default The BFG have no rim protection. I'm running GY F1 A/S now and they have great rim protection. They

even seem to have better grip then the summer dedicated BFG's. Not sure if the F1 GSD3's have the same rim protection but if they do (or even if not), I'd give those a try.
