BFG-Comp2 Thoughts

Well at 15K on them my G-Maxs on the rear are toast. With them I could always feel my car kicking in the traction control even though the lights did not come on. You could feel it spin and then feel like bogging for a second as TC cut the wheel spin.

With the BFG's she is just hooked and moves. Kind of cool car is quicker off the line but not much wheel spins as I do not feel the TC bog. I think I am back to traction level of the P-Zeros or better.

I can say the rear end does not slide out like it did with P-Zeros, Hankook and the G-Maxs. I do not see the stabiltrack kicking in anywhere as much as I did with the others. The sidewalls of the BFG are solid and seems to keep more of the contact patch on the ground so the rear end does not slide out as much on the corners.

Have a big cruise Saturday in Thomasville GA so that and the drive there and back will get me more time with them since I have only had them since Monday and have only put about 60 miles on them.

We are going to Thomasville this morning, we are having a cruise there like we did last year. We did anywhere form 50-100 on city streets so I will give input tonight.

Thought some might want to see the pictures of them on the stock 20's. I had to work at a clients site who lives on a muddy dirt road. So sorry about them not being the cleanest.

The red thing on the LCA is Pedders RLCA fix bracket. It beefs up the LCA connection for the heavier duty sway bars like the 32MM Pedders I have on the rear. The black bracket you see below the car is Hocthkis Chassis Brace if anyone said what the hell is that stuff on the Bee.

I think what is holding me back from getting these is that they are directional tires.

Well they spin very litte, I do not feel my traction control coming on with them like I did with the G-Maxs and P-Zeros. Corning they are they best ever on my car. You do not have stabliltrack kicking in like it did with P-Zeros and GMaxs. They are just stick and go, they are also putting 1 inch more of tread on the ground than the P-Zeros and GMaxs.

Rain they are better than my G-Maxs which are a huge step above the P-Zeros. I floor it in the rain plenty of times in the last couple days and she is sticking well. Drove some road ruts in rain yesterday with no problem.

I have them on the front but wanted to completely obliterate the P-Zeros on the back before putting them on. I must say they are pretty good! And judging from your experience OP, especially with your experience with several of the other brands, I am definitely looking forward to putting these on the back to complete the set! Thanks for posting a review on these!

How do they compare to the others in terms of ride quality/harshness and tire noise?

Overall they definitely sound like a good choice.

Sounds like the tire is a winner from the OPS perspective.

Wet Grip on these is VERY strong. Don't worry.
