Better traction through the snow

I'm the original owner of this vehicle and these 4 tires replace the DOT 1708 date coded tires that came on the car OEM. These uni-directional tires pleasantly contrast to OEM B.F.Goodrich g-Force Comp-2 A/S. My vendor sent them directly to the installer in 2 lots. 1st Lot: 2 x DOT 2222 -- 2nd Lot: DOT 2322 & 2422. Tread pattern is similar to F1 Full Wet rain tires which have a pleasing slightly aggressive appearance.

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.

All four of these tires are out of round after just 10k miles or so. Cannot balance even with tons of weight. I confirmed it's a tire issue by installing these tire on two sets of wheels, both sets of wheels yielded the same results on two separate balancers at two shops as well.

I bought a set of these tires today and they handle nicely. We live in the California Mountains where we have windy mountain roads, get ice and snow in the winter. We needed an all season tire that would check all of the boxes. While we haven't had a chance to try it out in winter conditions yet, but we expect these tires to meet our needs. No growl or vibration issues that we seen in other reviews, They were installed on a 2019 Cadillac XT4 AWD SUV. I will add a comment after first snow.

I purchased a set of tires for my 2013 Mazdaspeed 3 back in November 2019. I got 35,000 miles out of them! Ive had the Continental DWS, Michelin Pilot A/S and Dunlop. I decided to go with my second set of BFG COMP-2 A/S! I absolutely love these tires, more importantly these tires have my TRUST!

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.

I’ve owned several sets of these for my 85 and 86 Mustang with aftermarket 16 inch rims. Traction in the snow has always been an issue for these cars and not anymore with these tires. I was heartbroken to find out from my tire store my size has been discontinued, 245/50/R16. Performance 16” A/S tires ant near impossible to find.

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.
