BF GOODRICH COMP 2 A/S?
I'd like to hear from anyone here with experience running these. Tire life, road noise, feel, dry performance, bad weather performance (rain, snow, extreme cold, etc) because yes, I drive my SS year round and the weather gets ugly in the winter here sometimes. Supposed to get 6 inches of snow tonight as a matter of fact. The stock Goodyears are HORRIBLE in anything other than perfect weather, even in light rain they suck. For reference, '18 SS 6M with stock sizes front and rear.

These are the tires I replaced my OEM Pirellis with on my Gen5 SS. I've never used them in snow, but they are great in cold (mid '30s) rain, conditions which render summer tires useless.
Also they have great on-center feel, are quiet, and hook up quite well at the drag strip. |

I had BFG Sport Comp-2 A/S on my last car and I loved them! They feel like summer tires but offer more confident grip in the Cold/Wet over a standard summer tire. No issues with my set after 5,000 miles. I sold the car shortly after rolling over 5,000 miles on the tires. They launch hard and have lots of side wall stiffness.
I was running a size 275/40R18 on all 4 corners on my last car. For my current car (16 Camaro SS) I decided 3 months ago to go with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. Let me tell you that they feel almost identical to the BFG Sport Comp-2 A/S. The only differences between the two I can tell is that the Michelin's are quieter, a little bit softer side wall, and MUCH better in cold/snow. I still had a little wheel spin issue on the BFG's in snow but the Michelin's had no effect at all. It was like I was driving on dry ground. Sub 40 degrees the Michelin's still have tons of grip in sweeping corners and hard acceleration. The Sport Comp-2 A/S Will also do these things but take a little bit longer to get some head in them for some reason. Don't get me wrong, the Sport Comp-2 A/S is still great all year tire even in snow and cold! The Michelin's are just a level up IMO. The extra $15 a tire is worth it if you ask me. If you have any questions about either the BF-G Sport-Comp 2 A/S or the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+, or even the Conti DWS-06 please ask! I have experience with all 3 of the best (IMO and by Tire-Rack reviews) Ultra-High performance all season tires.

If you had simply gone to the already existing thread on the tires you were asking about, you could have learned more. It is here: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=458093
That is what those confusing remarks that didn't add anything "useful" meant.

On what basis? You say this as if you know I didn't search and read existing threads on the subject. Sorry to disappoint, but I did. Not a lot of useful information in them, in fact, half of the posts are useless and completely unrelated to the topic at hand.

Look at the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS as well, much newer tire.
