BF Goodrich g-Force Super Sport (A/S)
For those of you that have experience with this tire, what are your opinions of it for our cars?
What are some characteristics of this tire vs. other all-season ones?
Thanks.

Do you really need A/S tires in San Diego? That BFG has a reputation for being good handling in the dry, but it is rougher and noisier than most of the competing tires. To me, that is not a good match for a Mercedes. It is also not known for wet handling.
Did you get a car that already had them on, or are you shopping? If I were shopping, and wasn't worried about snow/cold, I'd probably put Hankook V12, Kuhmo SPT, Yoko S-drive, or Nitto NT555 on that car.
If I really had to have some snow traction, I'd probably bite the bullet and spend the money on Michelin Pilot Sport A/S+.

billbillw,
The BFGs came on the car when I purchased it this past March. I'll be replacing the tires before too long - so your input and suggestions were helpful.
We do get some nasty rain storms from time to time in the winter, but this car will never see snow as long as I own it.

Hankook V12 Best bang for the buck. I just installed these last month and took them for a nice ride to CT from MA and they grip very, very nice. If I recall correctly they beat out the Pilot Sport last year. I tried the Nitto ENVO but they gripped really well and the thread pattern give it a aggressive look to it but they only lasted 1 summer. Let's see how the Hankooks do.
I would never, ever scarfice a tire by getting A/S always go strictly summer/high performance tires for the AMG.
