I got those BFG's on my 17's right now. The severe camber hasn't caused too much excessive wear, which I'm pretty impressed with. Decent wet traction, dry is sacrificed a tad, but still not bad. They're not as sticky on dry as my Yoko ES100's, but I can't really complain much. It's a decent balance wet/dry, as the Yoko's are shit in the rain, IMO.

The BFG's have started to make a bit of noise tho, but they prob. wouldn't be as bad if you don't run any negative toe for handling purposes.

I used to have a set of Kumho Ecsta mx (i think that's what they were) and they were bald in NO TIME! Cheap, but I would have liked a few more miles out of them. Kinda ruined my taste for Kumho altogether.
