I'm approaching tire replacement time, like the P Zero's, but willing to try Comp 2's

Ride and road noise are much better with the BFG's. Another big improvement is they don't track the road ruts and imperfections like the p-zero's.

I won't invest in Hankook's again. Had them on my Impala SS and Typhoon. Constantly had them repaired/replaced from "road hazards". Just wouldn't hold air, and wore out in only months.

Comp2's = Dislike...
Nitto's are what I run, Invo's or NT-05's..

What don't you like about them?

Poor grip, noisy compared with the Nitto Invo's or NT-05's...

Nitto doesn't make the Invo in a weight rating compatible with the recommended one for the camaro.

I run 275/35-19's on my car with no issue racing or autocrossing which puts more stress on tires than most, they have weight rating of like 1750lbs. Stock tires are overkill for this car, camaro weighs 3800lbs and they have tires on it rated for a car weighing 8,000lbs, even with figuring loads running on the track like I do pulling 1g or so, the tires I run are good for 7,000lbs of weight...I'm ok with those numbers.....

Discount Tires Direct...good prices, free shipping and no state tax, unless you're in Texas where they are.
