There are extreme differences in those different types of BFG tires, and some of those differences may explain your wheelspin.

Also, please be certain: it's not negativity - I'm trying to keep you alive, my friend...and your Supra in one piece too. With all of the misinformation floating around on the internet, as well as the vast differences in mechanical, driving, and automotive design experience of folks modifying their own cars, there are literally thousands of ways to do it dangerously wrong, and far fewer ways to do it right. $ don't save you either - you can spend a lot of $ and still get it completely wrong. If I make myself look like a complete d*ck to someone but save his/her life in the process, ...or save the life of someone else that is reading that forum, ....then to me the tradeoff is well worth it. Again, I'm definitely not trying to be negative, but there's no way I can avoid coming across as black-and-white critical when I learn of someone misinforming another forum member, or performing a modification that I know for sure is either dangerous or will definitely compromise the reliability of a Supra. In other words, I work hard to be crystal-clear and extremely specific about the advice I offer, look at each post from as many angles as is practical - and I take that all very, very seriously. I can offer my apologies for coming across as hard-nosed, critical, or even negative, but my apologies would be a bit hollow since I can't and won't shrink from my role of keeping this forum on the straight-and-narrow...so I guess that means maybe I shouldn't really apologize since I'm not intending to change? *shrug* Either way, I hope you now understand a bit more about where I'm coming from and why I respond the way that I do.

I do appreciate your posts, and the posts of all of the other members on this forum. Please accept my sincere wishes for a happy holiday season this winter.

the tires on the rear are .......BFG 275/35 ZR18 G-Force Sport

the tires on the front are.......Michelin 235/40 ZR18 Pilot Sport

I under stand there is a difference in a cheap tire and a crappy tire, I am suggesting the guy buy a cheaper tire, not a crappy tire. That's all.

Ok - as long as the "cheaper tire" meets or exceeds oem specs.

Michelin doesn't sell regular Pilot Sports any more. Are they PS2s? Pilot Super Sports? ...or ZPs or PS2 ZPs? Also, are the G-Force Sports 'regular', or super sports?

Assuming we're talking about regular PS2s vs. regular g-Force Sports, the PS2 is a *much* better tire. Although running mismatched tires is far from ideal, you should be able to make due in most relatively dry road conditions by driving very conservatively. Please consider staying out of the rain, since this is where the mismatched tread pattern will cause the most problems.

my car will never see the rain, nor will it really ever see aggressive driving, i am past that stage in my life & I don't need to drive like that to enjoy the ride!
I get a rush just being in the damn thing!
