There are better tires out there. If you are on a budget, Riken Raptors (BFG product) are not bad, or Fuzion ZRI (Firestone product). Kumho AST are good as well. They will all be cheaper than Firestones. Then there is always Nitto NT555's, or Nito NeoGen's, and Toyo Proxes. Both still cheaper than your dealer cost Firestones. If you don't want to spend a crap load of cash, since the Fuzion ZRI tires are a Firestone product, your Firestone dealer should be able to get them, since they are part of the Firestone affiliate dealer program.

BFG G-Forces are horrible in rain or any other condition other than dry. Bridgestones aren't that bad but they're done after about 15,000 miles (depends on how you drive but I've never seen them make it past 20k miles) and seriously why would you spend that much for a tire that isn't gonna hold up after time. Dunlop ain't bad but it's expensive. I would go toyo or nitto.

My company actually used to carry them, but when we got bought out, we had to stop. They were just too small of a company, and couldn't provide enough tires for 50 warehouses nation wide. It really is too bad, they do have a good product.
