Keep in mind, BFG is the "economy" brand for Michelin, which is also French owned! (sorry, no political opinions here..) My point is, they are a low grade performance tire. You basically get what you pay for. As others have pointed out, there is not much quality, in regards to performance tires, in the 15" size anymore. For sure, this size has been taken over by the "sticky" drag tires. If you wanna go straight in a hurry, lot's to choose from! For all around road performance, you gotta go up 17" and above.
