BFGoodrich has been working on a second version of the g-Force Rival, currently known as the g-Force Rival-S. As we wait for the official announcement on the Rival-S, Tire Rack has been given a preliminary list of sizes planned for production. Time will tell if all are produced, but we have no reason to think they won’t. As of today we don’t have any availability info, but we expect the Rival-S to make the April 30th SCCA Solo eligibility deadline. We can accept pre-orders via the phone, and our web site will show the tire once we have more concrete availability information closer to the launch date. Details and rumors about what change Rival-S brings to the table are sketchy, but we expect it will be similar to the difference between g-Force R1 and R1-S, with the S = shorter tread life for quicker run/lap times.

G-Force Rival-S Preliminary Size List
P205/50R15 86W
P225/45R15 87W
P215/45R16 86W
P225/45R17 91W
P245/40R17 91W
P255/40R17 94W
P245/40R18 93W
P275/35R18 95W
P315/30R18 98W
P335/30R18 102W

The Rival-S is a separate tire from the current g-Force Rival which will continue to be available in its current form and size range. Some sizes of the original g-Force Rival are out of stock, and we are waiting on word from BFG when they will be available again. As of today, a best “guest” is late March or early April at the earliest.

 

Any idea if the 20" will be made? I am surprised if not all sizes from the 1st Rival are carried over.

 

My Evo is the second straight vehicle I've owned where I put BFG's on it and I love them.

 

Just the sizes mentioned above at this time. No word on 20's.

 

Any word on pricing? Trying to decide between rivalS or RS3 v2. I ran an nt01 last year in a less than desirable size(245/45). I'd really like to stay with an R-comp for stock BBS wheels but tire choices are slim at 245/40 and also quite expensive. Insight?

 

If you search them by size you'll see pricing as we're taking orders for what's coming in. 245/40-17 coming in at $190 ea plus shipping for the time being.

 

The Rival S doesn't show on the tirerack webpage anywhere. Gunna assume it'll be a few weeks till they end up online.
