The combination of their tried and true tread design and the carcass improvements give the Comp-2 amazing grip on wet surfaces. BFGoodrich added a silica infused rubber compound to the tire’s tread. Usually if a tire’s sidewall is relatively stiff this can inhibit wet traction by not allowing the tread and shoulder to flex and roll enough to hold traction. I have to admit, after seeing how responsive the sidewalls were on the dry autoX track I assumed that might be a disadvantage on wet surfaces. Once comfortable with the track I pushed the tire extra hard in the corners and found, to my surprise, the Comp-2 held strong and continued to give me almost all of the same predictable feedback it had on the dry track. The tread cut through the standing water without breaking traction. With the track holding plenty of puddles we eagerly pushed the Comp-2 hard to find its wet traction limits. So what’s new? To really see it, you’ve got to drive it. The tread design looks almost identical but the sidewall is a little cleaner and smoothed out.

We were told that as long as we could get the all clear to attend from home base (Corporate) everything else would be taken care of. We knew very little about the new tire and very little about what BFG had planned for the launch. Matt and I, a couple of automotive enthusiasts from Discount Tire, had the chance to attend the BFG g-Force Sport Comp-2 product launch at Fontana Raceway in California a few weeks ago. Not once have I ever heard a tire manufacturer tell a group of, by no means professional, drivers “Don’t wussy foot it” (edited).
