I have a couple guys in my region who autocross with Rivals on there mustangs (boss & 5.0 GT) and they love them. Haven't seen any mustangs on a road course with them, but I have see other cars and they look good. They are not too far off from NT01'S. For being a street tire. I plan on buying a set for my second car.
Bfg G-Force Rival Tire's..
- Thread starter Tifosi2003GT
- Start date
I beat the crap out of mine daily and haven't noticed a change yet. After the IRS bushing upgrade they do spin a but more in 1st but once heated up they dead hook. Rear end feels incredibly stable through high speed turns
I ended up going with some R888's. At the time I just didn't see a whole lot of reviews on these, and everybody was raving about the R888's, so I went with them. I must say, I have not been disappointed. I honestly haven't been able to put a whole lot of miles on the car since then, but I love them so far. Traction is solid on the street for my 626 hp, and I really like how they look!
The rivals sure sound like a nice tire too though. Probably can't go wrong either way.

KDW's do last
problem is I was really happy when I finaaly wore the suckers out. All in all so-ao for performance, but a long tread life.

I have a set of the Rival's coming in this week. I will let you know what I think of them after I get them installed.
275/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear

I love mine. After they warm up mine hook in every gear. Awesome street tire. :beer:
I have maybe 1500-2k miles on mine.

Good to hear Jefe. Keep updating this thread with your mileage if you can. I am really considering these when my 555R's wear out.
What kind of power are you putting down?
602/549
How do the 295s look? Any pics?
Almost 7k miles on them now. 1st spins pretty good but otherwise they are great
335/30/18 BFG Rivals:

They are MUCH wider than the BFG's in the same size, so beware when selecting rim/tire sizes.
This is what I have for pic's right now of them. I can pull the csr out of the garage later and grab some more.
The Rivals run a little wider than the previous KDW2's did on my car.
My cars slammed, so i had a little rubbing after installing the Rivals when I never did before. I had to roll my fenders.
Here are a few more pics.
Yes 18x10's. If I were to raise my car up then yes I could fit 315's. Being slammed no they would not fit, they would rub over every bump. The pic's I just posted are an illusion, looking straight on to the fender you cannot get a finger on the tire. The tire is up in the fender a tiny bit. Hope that makes sense.
Every car I see with 315 or 335 are not as low. Therefore the tire is not inside the fender but more flush with the outside of the fender.
