BFG gforce sport comp 2 vs. General Gmax as-03

For anyone who has klnowlege of both sets of tires, which is the most quiet? I've limited my selection down to these 2. I'll be using the stock sizes. Thanks in advance.

BFG rears got manufacturer discontinued, tried Tire Rack, Discount Tire and Belle Tire all failed to get me a set .

I just ordered Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's. Rated out the best as stock replacement when comparing treadlife/grip/cost/availability. G-MAX is all season.

oldschool, seeing as you have a 2LT/RS, as do I, you will love the GMAX's, I have had mine on for about 10,000 miles, I LOVE THEM.

If you plan to do any autoX, DO NOT get the bfg comp 2.

I am going to get the Vredstiens as my next rear replacement tires. They are supposed to be good in dry and rain.

G Max will be quieter. BFG will have a little better dry and wet performance.

Knowing that the rear BFG's have been discontinued just made my decision a lot easier. Thanks all for the input....

I just installed the GMax tires and have to say they are very nice.
