Excellent Tread Design

The tread design of these tires make them particularly pleasant in a front wheel drive car. Linear tread designs have a tendency to pull a front wheel drive car off line, even when the wheels are perfectly balanced and aligned, which results in a persistent straight-line steering effort. The design of the tread in the Comp-2 A/S, on the other hand, results in a neutral feel, with the car both resisting straight-line drift *and* giving a very good sense of going precisely where you point. I will add that they seem to be pressure sensitive. My car is fairly heavy, and I experimented a bit with psi. There is a balance between grip, steering lightness, and noise that I think is ultimately personal, but I found a slightly higher pressure to be ideal for my daily driving. Overall, I've found the tire remarkably confident in both wet and dry conditions, smooth rolling, and reasonably quiet. Indeed, I can't think of another tire I've had that met these three criteria better.

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.

Good traction and wear for a higher performance 40 series tire

I bought them 3 years ago. The Goodrich's wear very well and have decent traction for an all season higher performance tire. I thought the price was very reasonable. I think they ride relatively hard. I did go from Michelin Pilot Sport's to the BFGoodrich. The Michelin's are known to ride and handle wonderful but they were wearing out every 13,000-15,000 miles. The Michelin's cost is also more than doubled that of the Goodrich. I have to say, I did buy new Pilot Sport 4S Super Sport for my Audi RS6. Supposedly they now provide 35,000 miles of wear. Since BFGoodrich is now owned by Michelin, all of the money is going to France. I have had a lot of fun several times in France including a couple 24H Le Man's and GP Monoco. I'm hoping that a lot of the design and engineering at BFG is now coming from Michelin.

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.

Too soon to tell

I’ve had these tires installed on my VW R32 for only a week now, but I purchased them a month ago. I try very hard to get the best that I can afford. I’m frugal like that. I needed new tires for my daily driver. I commute about 100 miles a day. Five days a week. The route is paved & reasonably smooth concrete & asphalt. I live in the Midwest. So I needed an all season with as much performance as I could afford. After quite a bit of research & comparisons I chose the BF Goodrich G Force Comp2 Plus. My research sources were “The Tire Rack”, “Discount Tires Direct”, & other respected independent reviews & tests. While I do read/view some boards & videos posted by everyday “Joes”, like myself. I always take them with a large pinch of salt. This isn’t the newest tire on the market. Nor is the best tire in it’s class. However, for my needs & budget, it was exactly what I was looking for. I have owned other BFG performance tire pressure on similar vehicles in the past & I’ve had positive experience with them all. This will be the first time I’ve had them on an all wheel drive though. So I’ll update my review when I have more experience with that. In the short period I’ve had them I’ve noticed a decrease in road noise compared to my last set. (Federal Tire) They seem quite responsive and confidence inspiring. Lastly, they look great.

Great tires

When I purchased these tires I wasn't sure what to expect as my 124 Spider has always been a fun ride with its original tires. With the g-Force tires it feels like it accelerates slightly slower, but it holds the corners like glue. It feels more stable in a straight line. Since I'm not drag racing I'll forgive the very slight acceleration difference for the enhanced handling in the curves and control. My car has always been setup as a convertible cruiser designed for the driving experience, an extension of the driver. These tires enable it.

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.

Excellent tire for driving confidence

I have put about 15,000 miles on these tires. Yes they are a sport tire and expect a bit of noise. With all of the information out there do your research. I have so much driving confidence in these for dry and heavy rain conditions. I have not experienced any snow driving since they were purchased in June. I still have 7/32mm of tread left. Rotate your tires every 6,000 miles for maximum tread life.

Don’t Last

I put about 18k miles on mine before the centers are dangerously worn to be driving in winter and always made sure to inflate to manufacture specs but at very disappointed. Claiming all season is ridiculous since you can MAYBE get 1-2 safe winters out of these. After that I have been slipping around on a dusting of snow. Performance beyond that were good in the other seasons and cornered like a champ

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.
