After having the BFG gForce Comp 2's for 3 months on the GTO I'm sold big time. Konsole I know you want summer tires and I've never run an AS before these but damn son, for the money (or a lot more) you're not going to find a better performing tire in any category. Latest test of the AS UHP segment on Tire Rack they again came in 2nd out of 25 tested. That's a first place and 2 second place finishes in the last 3 tests on TR that included multiple tires that were significantly more expensive, some more than twice as much. Aaaaaand their UTQG is 400. But it's your choice................

Gary, yep it's true the Pilot SS A/S came in first but the Comp 2's score came in less than 2% (out of 100 total possible points) behind the Michelins which cost more than twice as much as the BFG's. You can keep throwing money down the drain to rep your favorite tire, but I've got better things to spend my money on knowing my girls wear awesome shoes...........

 

Blue, we're still on the same page, BFG Comp2s are what I'm running on my wife's Vette! Good look'in tire...Gary

 

Actually, the Goodyear Eagle Sport A/S was number one on Tire Rack's high performance A/S chart until for some reason, Tire Rack no longer can offer them online due to a "Goodyear advertising policy"; whatever that means.

 

My fav was the Goodyear Eagle GT, but they quit making them.

 

I needed a new set of tires for the Mustang. Looks like you just made up my mind for me. $130/ea in the size I need. That's pretty damn good.

 

If you get them let me know how you like them. I'm curious to see what you think..........

 

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I think you are all probably right. I am still considering those Comp2.

 

Will have to wait til spring. I want to get them in the next few weeks, but car is on stands while I do some brake/steering upgrades.

 

Totally understood

 

Not my favorite Tex! I had a set on my '92 Nissan TTZ, pulled into a concert, parked and I could hear air escaping from the right rear and I had less than 2K miles on em! Inside sidewalls were cracking on all four, which was when I finally went with Michelins after wasting $$ on those B-Stones I mentioned previously!

Did you check the "build date" on them? Some dealers had them for years before selling them.

 

I've run into that before. Order a supposedly new set of tires from a retailer, and then see the build dates showing they've been sitting for 4-5 years before I've gotten them. Promptly sent those back.

 

I had three sets of those on mine 245 40 19, great tire for me.

 

Just slapped them on this week. 235/45/17 up front and 255/45/17 out back. Had to search around a bit for the 255's. Seems it's an uncommon size. Build dates were within a year.

Gonna try to take car for a spin, although it might be still too cool for good traction. May have to wait a bit longer, as I'm going to do a steering rack upgrade shortly

 

I hope they treat you as well as they have me. Post up your feedback here when you have some miles on them.
