Tore up a few highway on ramps and it felt really secure, hooks like like crazy into 2nd and 3rd gears....never had this with the Goodyears. So fun


Thanks everyone for the great info here, its always easier to make these decisions well informed
Nice having 1st and 2nd gears back wouldn't you say???The more you run them the better they will handle...

That's a great way to describe it for sure...

I knew the Goodyears were sketchy at lower temps, but damn, you don't know how much better it can be till you get there.

In the low 50's here today and still lovin' the BFG's baby.....

Wait till you have a light drizzle, or even real rain... these tires shine when wet.

Well, she's a bit of a Weather Queen, really only see's sunny days.

But I'm sure we'll get caught in some rain sooner or later on a road trip, almost can't wait !!

Got about 12,000 miles on my BFG's.
Much better than the GY's.
Only got 10k out of my Gy's. These are still looking good at 12.

Glad to hear it, got about 300 on mine and they are sweet !!

I'd be more than happy if they make it to 15-20K, hopefully more

Yeah thanks for the recommendation. Waiting should be worth it.

A beautiful day, low 80's* sitting on a set of BFG's Comp 2 A/S is a hard combination to miss out on...These tires impress me more and more...From a traffic light to a brisk acceleration with a smooth clutch release and WOT these tires are hooking like crazy...You can hear a soft squeal as you continue to accelerate but the car stays straight, and damn you're ready for 2nd gear...Merging on to the freeway in 2nd gear WOT and take a spot, go thru the gears while the other cars are almost sitting still, disregard the HUD, because you would be telling on yourself...Hated to pull in the driveway at the house, but it was time to shut her down and get her covered...This tire is no joke!!!
