Hi Guys,
Here's some background information. I wanted a performance tyre that is reasonably priced, good grip in wet and dry, fairly quiet and last at least 30000km with moderate driving. I've read 2005 tyre review and the two that came up top are Bridgestone G3 and BF Goodrich G-force.
After contemplating between G3 and G-force, I've finally swapped my old crappy tyres (tyres that I'll never put on my car) for a new set of G-force (on stock U13 rims). I'm really impressed with the tyres.

Very good dry traction
Good steering response
Aggressive looking track with thick sidewall,
Quiet tyre considering it is a performance tyre. So far I've tested it at only 110km/h
Size availabilty as not much performance tyres are offered for the stock U13 rims
It's V rated, not that I can reach that speed.
Lesser body on the car around corners compared to my old tyres (old one run at 33PSI while the new one run at 36 PSI which is recommended by shop).
Comfort - Good over very small bumps. With larger bumps, it feels slightly bumpier with higher pressure
Wet traction - Yet to be tested, I'm still waiting for rain.
Cons
My steering feels heavier even with 36PSI
Feels like there is slightly more drag driving around in slow speed or parking
Anyone interested in the tyre, do shop around because some shops actually quoted me $20 to $25 more expensive per tyre. That's all for now. I'll add more reviews as I go.
