![]() ![]() The Comp-2 stopped 8 feet shorter with us behind the wheel, and did it over and over again. Panic stopping with them from 60 behind the wheel of Challenger SRT8s was fun, and surprising. The Yokohama wasn’t even in the same league. We compared the BFGs to both Kumho and Yokohama, and the Kumho finished second. And we aren’t talking a little bit of water, we’re talking water truck running around the course every 10 minutes wet. On the Wet Autocross we drove the Vdubs and honestly didn’t even realize the ground was wet. If I didn’t see it for myself, I would have thought the competitors tires were under inflated. The transition from one direction to another was astoundingly different with the BFG Comp-2. The most apparent difference was in the way that the tires responded to input. With the Yokohamas on it, the car was on the edge all the time. With a few more laps, and some suspension tweaks, that car could be somebody. This car is a big heavy pig, and we’ve driven them on stock tires. For a more representative run for our readers, we then got into the Dodge Challenger SRT 392 with BFGs. On the dry autocross we started off in the WRX with the BFGs and then jumped into the one with Kumhos on it. We drove the BFG equipped car first, and then got into the identical car with the competitors tires immediately afterwards. They aren’t available in the super huge sizes yet but, for the masses, they have you covered.Įach test track featured multiple cars running multiple top rate competitors tires for each application. ![]() After talking to Kyle Tucker, Brian Finch, Bill Howell, and Jason Childress, it is apparent that this tire is going to take over the Pro Touring world. It is their top of the line tire, even above the KDW. The new BFG G-Force Sport Comp-2 is the latest Ultra High Performance tire from BFG. After a brief introduction to the tire, it’s new technology, and specs in comparison to its leading competitors, as well as BFG’s venerable KDW tire, we were off to the races so to speak. After introductions and dinner at the Mission Inn in Riverside on Tuesday night, we hit the track bright and early on Wednesday morning. There were four events, and four teams, so our team included KJ Jones from 5.0 Mustang, Matt Farah from The Smoking Tire, Joe Gearin from Grassroots Motorsports, Rob Einaudi from Car Domain and Antonio Alvendia from Motor Mavens. With drivers like Kyle Tucker, Carl Nadeau, and Terry Earwood, just to name a few, the talent pool was pretty deep at this event. After a few years of the RE71s and the Rivals dominating the autox scene, it'll be interesting to see how the Yokohamas and the coming Falkens will stack up.To check out all the details and sizes of BFG’s new G-Force Sport Comp-2, see the specs at the bottom of the page, or visit. In my first points event this year, I ended up 8th of 124, with more time to come as I get used to the new car/tires. The first two events were in colder weather where it barely broke 50F, and the fronts finally started coming into their best range after probably the third run, and the rears never got beyond lukewarm. There are probably a number of contributing factors here, but the BFGs are probably best for those in hotter states. The BFGs do like heat, and it's harder to get heat in them than it was on the Focus with the RE-71Rs. The initial impression is that the grip is well beyond what I was used to on my old Focus ST. I've yet to see any sort of discernable wear, but I'll have to keep an eye on that. So far I've done 2 autox events on them, one being a test n tune which has amounted to roughly 12 runs on them. I've yet to drive them in the rain, but from what I've heard it's not good. On the street, they are certainly loud and tramline on some pavements pretty bad. Despite the poke, there is zero rubbing on an otherwise stock car. I drove them around on my commute for a few days when I first put them on to see if there were any rubbing issues that needed to be addressed. It is 305/30-19 at all 4 corners, which for the most part fits, other than some poke beyond the fenders. After buying my Camaro intended for autox/daily use, I bought a set of wheels/tires specifically for autocross. ![]()
