Which one should I get...???
B.F.G Comp 2 or Hankook V12 Evo 2.
225/45/17 and 255/40/17 street driving only,with occasionnel spirited driving.
Looking for best dry grip,and long lasting tread wear;don’t care about confort,noise,or wet grip.

Cant say anything about the comp 2 as i have never tried them. I did run the v12 one time and i wasnt impressed. Super soft sidewalls made the tires feel very squirmy. I was mainly looking to get more miles than i had been getting with the rs3. Only got about 12k out of them compared to the 10k i usually get from rs3. After that i tried the continental dw which i was much happier with than the v12. In the end i only got about 12k out of the contis as well so i went back to the rs3 and now on the rs4.
The inside of the tire wears faster,so I take it off the left side wheel and install it on the right side wheel,and vice versa.
I’m now on Dunlop SS.and I want stiff sidewalls.

the inside part of the tires will always be on the inside if you're swapping side to side.
Also the majority of performance tires nowadays are directional
A majority? Maybe but not universal. Another thing the tire engineers have different opinions on. 
A glance at the Tire Rack data for the eight 17" Extreme Performance Summer Tires (street legal) in 225F/255R shows a 50-50 split, 4 directional and 4 not if I'm reading the sidewalls correctly. (I've no source data for pure race tires.)
Side to side swap has some benefit but it may be tiny. Due to road crown and tire scrub in left and right turns wear is never exactly the same on both sides. This is also why alignments and tire wear can be different for cars that drive on the wrong side of the road,

Handling and tread wear are nearly mutually exclusive.
