New Tires & Increase in Size - Thoughts?

[gumbygto]

OK guys finally going to upgrade the Cutlass to some modern rubber and new wheels (Rushforth Concept). Currently running 245/45/17's on BFG Traction T/A's on all 4 corners. I'm considering the BFG g-Force Comp 2 A/S and considering upgrading to 18's. I'm running the SC&C Touring Suspension Package (using Bilstein shocks) and Wilwood 12" 4 piston brakes (drums in the rear - someday disks). Car sits about 2" lower than stock. I use this car almost like a daily driver when the weather is good - commute to work 23 miles each way, long drives on the weekends, etc. It will never be entered into any competitions of any kind.

Options are:

Keep the 245/45/17 on all 4 corners or

18's on 245/45 in front and 275/40 in rear
Questions are:

Does anyone use the BFG's? I'd like to know about ride quality, road noise, handling, etc. They have to be an improvement over the Traction T/A's right?

What are your thoughts about going to the 18's? Is this a good size combo?

Thanks,
Scott

Why go with the A/S if you only drive I good weather? Id go with the regular sport comp II.

Might as well go with a 275 rear, unless you rotate tires.

I use both the SC2 and A/S on my daily. Summer and winter tires.

The A/S are pretty grippy for an all season. No noise to speak of. The SC2 are even stickier though. And both are good in the rain.
