BF Goodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2 tire review
#11
Hello,
The tires that I am talking abour are the new generation of BFG not the old! These are a much improved compound then the older one! I got them on tire rack for around 100 each! These are not the old style at all! Tire rack told me they just got them in and only have sold a few pairs! They are much improved over the old design night and day

BFGoodrich claims their new tire’s material and construction improvements result in 30% better wet grip and eight percent better dry grip – “offering precise control, without sacrificing tread life.”
I would say looking at some performance specs further, these should be right in line with their own KDWs.
8% improvement in the dry. imho...that ain't much. jm2c
I would def recommend this for a DD'd car though.

These make a great tire for someone who needs a DD tire! One big plus is these tires are really wide! I need a tire that will last more then 1500 miles plus need a tire that has good rain traction too!

I sold these to someone for $300 after only 2k miles, bought them with the same intentions for street driving, had the first gen before I started tracking my car and they felt like crap compared to my ado8, and recently picked up a set of kuhmo ecsta LE sport, and wow day and night difference, I recomended them way better then the hankook v12, stock, continental dw (not worth the money) I loved them so much I put them on my gf speed3 and my sti. I currently have 3,2xx miles on them on the s2k. Disappointed with michelin for make a crapy 2nd, I think they put all there research on there new pilot SS lol

for the price you can't beat them, they are nice and quiet and dry traction is amazing I was really impressed, I figured I couldn't go wrong with the with the price tag on them. plus side wall is nice but not too stiff If I can compare it I would say it between the dunlop ss and the continental dw, with the near dry handling of the SS and quite and wet handling of the dw's and with the side walls I would put them in between the two... and I have -2.8 in the rear and I've driven the car almost 4k miles and almost no wear out back...
and they sit really square they have a 10" tread width, my rim are 17x9+35 the tires are 255/40/17

Nice! That's good that they run a little wide. I run 0.30 deg toe in and -2.6 camber so I know I'm going to get some extra wear back there.
