Speaking of traction, where do I get some? I'm down to 26 PSI on my
G-Force tires and they still don't stick much better than street tires.
Over the past year I've gone from the BFG recommended 40 PSI to 26 PSI
in 2 PSI increments. Lower pressures do stick a bit better, but I have
yet to get any serious "grip" with these tires. Nothing like what I used
to get with Kumhos on the RX-7.
Do G-Forces really suck that bad? Is that why BFG stopped making them?
