"The COMP-2s certainly work as advertised, as we found on both wet and dry autocrosses and a romp around Auto Club Speedway's infield road course..."

Best Value to Performance Summer Only

Comments about g-Force Sport COMP-2:

"Acquired (4) to replace an all-season Goodyear RSA on an '09 G8 GT RWD. Markedly better cornering on any surface at high speed except gravel or snow of course. The Comp-2 I'm sure is capable on a track but for me superb on dry city streets or ramp cornering, braking. Excels on wet pavement. Comp-2 has a UTQG rating of 340 AA A which is higher than the norm in this class. In independent testing ranked higher than Potenza, Firehawk and Yoko.
Keep the Winters for November-April and get these for Summer. I doubt you'll be disappointed."

Comments about g-Force Sport COMP-2:

Mounted these on 2004 Mustang (Convertible) replacing my winter studded tires.

First thing I noticed was major road/tire noise. This car had structs replaced (all four wheels) and an alignment six months ago. So I had an alignment performed. Minor adjustment, they did not find any other issues. Still the noise.

Handling is great. I live in the mountains and find them a joy to drive on.

Gas mileage off just a bit.

I would recommend them with the caveat that the noise may not be acceptable in quiet running cars.

Noise Noise Noise

By Mark B

Comments about g-Force Sport COMP-2:

This tire replaced my OEM Goodyear Eagle RS-A's from those to these tires is like night and day in many aspects.

Ride: Ford Flex 2010 Limited 255/45R20

Traction(Dry): 10/10 so much so that the steering is somewhat heavier at speeds 65mph it is crisp and precise. It made my car want to go faster.

Fuel Efficiency: I noticed a consistent decrease of about -1.5mpg on overall driving. (Could be due to it's willingness to stick to the ground when accelerating)

Braking: Another 10/10. I noticed a decrease in distance to my desired distance. Very "on-point".

Comfort: 7/10. I now could feel bumps around my street that I could feel before. Not really that desirable.

Road Noise: This is why I would NOT purchase these tires, nor recommend these to anyone. Coming from the Goodyear Eagle RS-A's which were very quiet tires, i went to a consistently growling set of tires. So much so that I had to turn my Speed Compensatory Volume on the radio to max and even that is not enough. I can't wait for these to go out so I can replace them with quieter ones.

The sizes and/or speed ratings listed may vary slightly from the specified OE size shown on the vehicle placard. Your local Tire Dealer, as a trained professional, will provide the required assistance to install the tire listed by: 1. Notifying the owner if the replacement tires are different in speed rating than the OE tires and the maximum speed capability of the vehicle is limited to the lower speed rated tires. 2. Determine if any inflation pressure adjustments are necessary with the alternate listed size.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is for a tire only (i.e., excluding services such as mounting, balancing and tire disposal) and is applicable for the contiguous United States. Actual pricing may vary based on retailer, region, tire size and other factors. Retailers are free to set individual prices. Please check with your local BFGoodrich tire dealer for pricing near you.

# The Load and Speed Index data are not shown on the tire sidewall and are provided for information only purposes.

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.

XL = Extra Load

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.

For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

V-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118 124 130 136 143 149
