![]() ![]() The TWI's become more obvious when the tread wears down. These are recessed rubber bars that run throughout the length of the tire. The tread wear indicators (TWIs) are incorporated into the circumferential grooves of the g-Force COMP-2. The g-Control sidewall inserts, in the end, are responsible for ride quality. The company used its Performance Racing Core construction with the Equal Tension Containment System (ETEC System) for more responsive handling. This type of design frequently improves wet traction without compromising dry stability, and the squared-off shoulders and wraparound tread blocks give consistent block rigidity for increased grip and stability. The tread pattern is directed and V-shaped with slanted lateral and longitudinal grooves. The company also boasts about the tread life and control in all seasons.īFGoodrich used its UltiGrip Technology to achieve the aforementioned traits, which includes a high-silica tread composition that remains flexible in cold weather while still providing outstanding traction in warmer months. The g-Force COMP-2 A/S tire has the finest wet and dry grip among its competitors. Plus, since this is an all-season tire, drivers expect snow and ice traction as well. Because the majority of these tires will be installed on executive and high-performing sedans, therefore, a greater degree of sophistication will be expected.įurthermore, all-season tires are durable and can last up to 4 years in normal driving conditions - an important feature for customers. The greatest all-season UHP tires offer a thrilling driving experience and a smooth and quiet ride. The g-Force COMP-2 must perform well in a range of settings and tests in order to compete advantageously. Since then, high-silica compositions and distribution strategies have improved the performance of all-season tires in every condition. Silica additives in tire design did not exist 10 to 15 years ago, and carbon black materials were the only option in dry conditions. The all-season tire industry is still impacted by this, although the margin is now shrinking. In comparison to the earlier Super Sport A/S, BFG has developed a new high silica cold weather all-season tread compound that provides better traction, shorter braking, and faster acceleration.Īll-season tires weren't much of a topic of discussion back in the day unless it came from a salesman's perspective. Comp-2 A/S tires are designed to fit a variety of sports cars, high-performance sedans, and muscle cars. The new BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2 A/S has proven to be a reliable performer over time. Tire was not tested in winter / snow / ice conditions but according to consumer reviews it seems to be very good or average for an all season tire. Overall Thoughts When tested for hydroplaning over a very large shallow puddle, such as you might encounter on the highway, the water was displaced through the channels and the tire did not quiver. On the wet track the tires provided excellent traction in all the same situations as the dry track including cornering and braking. Toggled back and forth around turns the tires provided great steering response and stability. When taken out on the track for a test run the tires provided very good dry traction when accelerating, cornering, and braking. The G Force Super Sport A/S has a few additional BFGoodrich features including rim protection which is designed to protect your rims from curb damage, V-Shift noise reduction for a nice quiet ride, and the PRETEC System for improved cornering and stability. This is a directional tire with BFGoodrich Aqua Chute technology built in to provide better traction in wet conditions and sipes (the smallest grooves) for traction in snow and ice. (You can see the tread in detail by clicking on the tire to the left). This tire is designed primarily for performance / sports cars because of the sizes available and style of the tread design.
