Just got mine in the mail yesterday. 305 rears and 285 fronts. Took over a month to get here. Gonna mount the tires today and hope to do some driving around this weekend to see how much of a difference they make in colder weather.

BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2 A/S

What tire pressure are you guys running the comp2 at? Right now I'm at 36psi, and wondering if I should go lower. Weather has been high 60s during day/ night 30s

I'm running at 34 psi but I would probably run 32psi but my SS TPMS nags me that they are low when cold.

Someone said they quit making them in 305. Is this true?

I only have these on for a cold weather tire. The stock Goodyear F1 G2's have zero grip in the cold. Not so good in heavy rain either. The Comp 2's are 100% improvement but the trade off is handling. Changed the feel of my 1LE. Much softer ride and less responsive. I've had them on for about 5000 miles and I like them. Good street tire.

I hope not, I was starting to get pretty interested in these. Want to run 275's front and 305's in rear.... I just emailed BFG to try and get some info on them.

I cant believe they would quite making them. Given all the people that have bought these lately and the activity reference this tire on the various forums, that would seem to be a bad idea.

My guess is they are just out of a production cycle.

Unfortunately. the Comp 2 A/S tires are indeed currently on backordered with no estimated time of availability. We'd like to recommend speaking to a local authorized dealers about any possible optional sizes we do have stock available in. You can also check back with us in a few weeks to receive any possible update on the 305/35ZR20.

We truly apologize for the inconvenience this may cause you.

You can always run 285s on all four corners. That's what I'm doing and it works well.

I hope you are not running the 285 on the factory rear rims. The rims are not the same size front to rear. The rims on the rear are a lot wider that the front rims. I am surprised a tire shop mounted those 285 on a factory rim. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS....
