Customer reviews for BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S PLUS - 305/35ZR20 104Y Tire forExceeded expectations
Bought these back in January or February. For starters, they were great in the snow and I couldn’t expect anything more from tires that aren’t winter tires because they exceeded my expectations in that department. Next, they are great in dry weather driving, I do not drive easily and like to take corners at high speeds and the tires work together with my car flawlessly to not disappoint. I have yet to slide or lose traction in any manner in rain. Yes, they wear a bit quickly (but honestly not even that quickly), but you’re getting a great tire for the price. Also, the grippier the tires, the quicker they wear, so don’t complain about tread wear on ultra high performance tires. You just look goofy lol. There’s a nice donut media video on tires, I suggest you watch it. My only “complaint” with them is their is a noticeable amount of road noise. Again, it’s not that bad and my car is known for having poor sound insulation. Honestly, it’s a great all around tire that far exceeded my expectations in every area. The only way you’ll get anything better in my opinion would be to have top performing summer and winter tires. They were also really beefy looking when I first got them and I liked how that looked on my car lol.
Not *perfect* but amazing all around tire for the price
No one tires is perfect at everything so my 5 star review is based on overall performance and cost compared to other UHP all seasons. There is a reason why Consumer Reports has this tied for THE best UHP all season, regardless of price, and it's a good 15% lower cost than its same corporate owned but different brand competitor. Pro's: VERY well rounded tire with good to very good performance in nearly every category; from winter performance as a non-winter tire, to wet and dry cornering and braking and ride quality. This is truly a UHP and not regular all season, a few reviewers who rated this tire down clearly bought the wrong category and shouldn't review a UHP tire for their non-performance boring sedans. This means compared to a regular or Touring all season, these are slightly louder and wear out a little faster, all 100% expected in a UHP all season, but FAR from annoying if you have a modern car that is in good condition with good alignment and non-worn out suspension. Ride is perfectly balanced, smooth and handling feels very stable and confident, it clearly rides more comfortably AND handles better than cheapie UHP all seasons I had previously. Con's: For a UHP all season, take off/launch traction and surprisingly hydroplaning is merely average, which is still acceptable for sure.. Still, overall, for a good 15% less cost than the top Ultra premium UHP all season tier, this easily competes with those in excellent all around performance and feel. Seems there does seem to be the rare "bad" one that won't balance well or wears out unevenly, just buy and have mounted at a shop you trust that also offers the rotating instant rebate deals that make these an awesome overall value.
Great All-Season Tire
I purchased this tire for my 2014 Scion FR-S after reviewing Consumer Reports. It is listed as an ultra high performance all-season tire and it really delivered in the snow. I did not want to own two sets of tires and the FR-S is my daily driver. They performed well on a snowy day, the bottom of the car was brushing against the unplowed road. In the summer they offer great grip and the sidewalls have really good stability. The sidewall of the tire looks different but it does to give stiffness to prevent blowout on low profile.
Great Performance, Disappointing Tread Life
I’ll start by saying that overall, these tires perform exceptionally well for the price. I purchased them to replace the factory Pirelli PZeros on my 2019 Mustang, and I’ve been impressed by their traction in all four seasons. In dry conditions, they handle like dedicated summer performance tires, which is hard to find in an all-season option. The ride is smooth, quiet, and responsive – everything you’d hope for in a performance tire. However, what completely ruined my experience is the extremely poor tread life. I’m running 235/50R18 on all four corners, and I rotate them front to back every 5,000 miles without fail. After just 15 months and 13,000 miles, my tires are already down to 3/32nds. After reading similar reviews, it seems this issue is fairly common with these tires, which makes me question if the 45,000-mile warranty will offer much resolution. I’d appreciate any insight or assistance regarding this, as I had higher expectations given their otherwise solid performance.

Looks Great
I have these for my BMW X1. I also have a set for my old Nissan Juke. They work great and look great on both. I also had an older g-Force model on my BMW 3-Series. I've always loved the look, especially due to the built-up bulky shoulder blocks, which helps to give them a super wide appearance. And they ride very well for the same reason. I don't know or worry about how well they work in snow because I have authentic, dedicated snow tires for that (which I need for South Dakota winters and which I recommend to everyone). But I consider these to be wonderful, cool-looking, three-season tires.
Best For The Money!
Having run three sets of G-Force COMP-2 A/S since late 2016 on my 2013 Ford Focus ST, my review will be about that previous version of this tire and not the new "PLUS" model, which, coincidentally, I'm about to get a new set of. The COMP-2 A/S replaced the OEM tires on my Focus ST and totally transformed the way it drove, and in nothing but GOOD ways! Much better grip in the dry and wet, and alleviated the need for snow tires unless things got really nasty. For my Focus ST and driving style (Spirited), I've found the COMP-2 A/S will last a good two years in daily driving duties if mounted new in November or December, so you have maximum tread depth for the first Winter and driving in the snow. After Winter is over, I don't rotate the tires and just keep driving on them normally through Spring, Summer,and Fall, then rotate them just before the next Winter (November/December) so I have maximum tread depth on the front wheels for driving in the snow again. Remember, this is for my front wheel drive Focus ST and you may need to rotate the tires differently if your vehicle is rear or all wheel drive. I then drive the tires another year without rotating and by Fall or Winter of the second year all four tires are about equally worn, a few millimetres about the wear bars. For me, that's when it's time to get a new set of COMP-2 A/S but keep the old set to use for Autocross or Track Day driving as there's still plenty of tread for that and they're still excellent in the rain. Overall, in my humble opinion, this is an excellent Ultra-High Performance All-Season Tire and the best value for the money. You can easily get two to three Winter seasons when driven daily and even use them for several more years at track tires! What's there not to like about that? Well done, BFG, well done indeed!!
My Go To All season tire
I've run through 4 sets of these on my Mazda 3. Avg 50k miles on every set. I drive hard and push my car through the corners. Excellent wet traction and braking with above average dry grip with very progressive slide at the limit. On some damp autocrosses we had the fastest time of the day. The only con is the tires do get noisy in the last 5k-8k miles.
Great but noisy as the miles add up.
Bought these in late 2018 to replace the Bridgestone RE980AS tires that came with my car. Better handling and braking in the wet and dry than the Bridgestones. Less understeer (better turn in) than the Bridgestone as well. I really enjoyed them but they get progressively noisier as the miles add up. I would give them 5 stars if not for the distinct "rumbling" sound they generate.
Great on all surfaces
Just bought a set for my 2020 Dodge Charger Scat pack Widebody. These are Awesome tires! They grip well on all surfaces. As good or better on snow as Bridgestone Blizzaks, and these are all seasons. Far better than the Pirelli P-Zero A/S that came with the car. I put these on two previous cars also. Better than Michelin Pilots that came on those cars. I have a lot of experience with these tires, and they're consistently outstanding.
Great tires
I bought these tires through Costco for my 2015 Camry. My tires were the original Bridgestone Turanza EL400-2s that came with the car. It was 7 years old and was starting to have some minor dry rot issues. But I remember the times when they were brand new. These Comp-2 A/S Plus is a big step over the Turanza. The response is better, better traction in rain. Turanza was horrible in rain and snow. Haven't driven the Comp-2s in snow as I moved from the Mid-west. But I think they should be ok. Also the ride is now firm, but not hard. Just the right level of stiffness. Very happy with the purchase. The Turanza had almost 4/32nd thread left after 44000 miles. This one seems to have a lower UTQG rating for wear compared to the Turanza. Will have to wait and see how it will hold up longer term. Also a lot of people mentioned thread noise in the reviews. I did not experience any major thread noise or growl. May be it is vehicle dependent. I recommend this tire to everyone who are shopping for these now.
