anyone tried the BF Goodrich Gforce tires - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

looks like the Pzeros are finally giving out...i see on tirerack they are listing BF Goodrich gforce comp2 tires for our cars now. Has anyone tried these on a 2SS/RS? if so what are your thoughts. As far as I can tell the only difference is the speed rating (164 for them vs. 184 for the PZeros).

I had G Force on my Mustang. They were ok, but didn't last too long.

Have you tried those out?

J-ROD-210 · 05-17-2012, 11:12 PM

Just got them today for rears from Discount tires. I got 36,250 out of Pzeros. The BFG's are $221 each online, but they let me have them for $215 each.Discount tires!!!

...so far so good.

Rudy@Tirerack · 05-18-2012, 07:30 AM

I have a set of the BFG on a daily driver and they are fantastic. Tons of dry and wet grip. I would highly recommend for the Camaro.

Scrapppy666 · 05-18-2012, 07:55 AM

Rudy, are there any Camaro5 discounts on TireRack?

Rudy@Tirerack · 05-18-2012, 08:00 AM

Tire Rack does not offer any forum discounts. Sorry. Orders do help to sponsor this forum and our pricing is very competitive.

J-ROD-210 · 05-18-2012, 11:27 AM

Like I said $215.NO shipping charges.NTB wanted $30 each to order,please.It's like a grocery store asking me to pay for milk delivery if they're out.

Finally tried these Comp2 tires out at the Optima Face Off at Hot Rod Power Tour...I am quite disappointed with the grip of these tires versus Nitto NT-05's...as soon as I get back to So. Cal., these tires are coming off and being dumped for the NT-05's sitting in my shop.

They may be fine for normal driving, but the grip for hard cornering is pathetic...I can't believe how much BF Goodrich touted this tire to be as good as 200 treadwear tires, they are the 340 tw that they state on them. If you're looking for performance, stay away from the Comp2's.

Nessal · 06-09-2012, 12:49 AM

I ran their KDW and G-force sports before on my previous cars. They both lasted to about 35k miles. As far as traction goes....they were ok. The tread design would lead you to believe that they are grippier than they really are. Also the side walls are super soft on these tires. They are good for normal driving but I have pushed the KDW and G-Force quite hard and they leave something to be desired. Regardless I'm in the market for new tires and was looking into the new Comp-2's. However, tire rack says that they are out of stock till July 17th so I bought another brand. They need to make them in bigger sizes, preferably 315/35/20.
