To check out all the details and sizes of BFG’s new G-Force Sport Comp-2, see the specs at the bottom of the page, or visit BFGoodrichtires.com.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n With drivers like Kyle Tucker, Carl Nadeau, and Terry Earwood, just to name a few, the talent pool was pretty deep at this event. There were four events, and four teams, so our team included KJ Jones from 5.0 Mustang, Matt Farah from The Smoking Tire,\u00a0 Joe Gearin from Grassroots Motorsports, Rob Einaudi from Car Domain and Antonio Alvendia from Motor Mavens. After introductions and dinner at the Mission Inn in Riverside on Tuesday night, we hit the track bright and early on Wednesday morning. After a brief introduction to the tire, it’s new technology, and specs in comparison to its leading competitors, as well as BFG’s venerable KDW tire, we were off to the races so to speak. The new BFG G-Force Sport Comp-2 is the latest Ultra High Performance tire from BFG. It is their top of the line tire, even above the KDW. After talking to Kyle Tucker, Brian Finch, Bill Howell, and Jason Childress, it is apparent that this tire is going to take over the Pro Touring world. They aren’t available in the super huge sizes yet but, for the masses, they have you covered.<\/p>\n Each test track featured multiple cars running multiple top rate competitors tires for each application. We drove the BFG equipped car first, and then got into the identical car with the competitors tires immediately afterwards. On the dry autocross we started off in the WRX with the BFGs and then jumped into the one with Kumhos on it. The difference was amazing. For a more representative run for our readers, we then got into the Dodge Challenger SRT 392 with BFGs.<\/p>\n On the Wet Autocross we drove the Vdubs and honestly didn’t even realize the ground was wet. And we aren’t talking a little bit of water, we’re talking water truck running around the course every 10 minutes wet. The BFG Comp-2 didn’t care at all. We compared the BFGs to both Kumho and Yokohama, and the Kumho finished second. The Yokohama wasn’t even in the same league. No bueno.<\/p>\n Panic stopping with them from 60 behind the wheel of Challenger SRT8s was fun, and surprising. The Comp-2 stopped 8 feet shorter with us behind the wheel, and did it over and over again. Our group saw 7-14 feet of improvement over the competitor.<\/p>\n Our final test was out on the road-course that is inside California Speedway, and it was fun. We started off in the BFG shod Camaro SS, although we were disappointed that they were automatics. Our first lap was a recon lap to see what the track layout was, and halfway through we were pretty well all in. Our second and third laps were much faster, and we had Terry Earwood riding shotgun giving us pointers on the line and when to get into the throttle.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/bangshift.com\/assets\/galleries\/bfgoodrich-tire-testing-2012\/b-f-goodrich-tire-testing-at-california-speedway-001.jpg\"\n "\\"BFGoodrich\u00c2\u00ae")
<\/a> This car is a big heavy pig, and we’ve driven them on stock tires. They feel like a big heavy pig. With the BFGs, this car was good. With a few more laps, and some suspension tweaks, that car could be somebody. With the Yokohamas on it, the car was on the edge all the time. The most apparent difference was in the way that the tires responded to input. The transition from one direction to another was astoundingly different with the BFG Comp-2. If I didn’t see it for myself, I would have thought the competitors tires were under inflated. I checked, they weren’t.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>That is the difference between driving halfway through the back of a mini-van or not hitting it at all. We’ll take the BFGs.<\/p>\n
