Fantastic tire but I experienced bad tread life.
Installed on a 2010 Honda Fit Sport 5MT at 153,000 odo miles. I daily drive with aggression all the time on the nice curvy ohio backroads. I even took a trip to the tail of the dragon and was keeping up with supercars on that tight road with these tires. They had very high levels of predictable grip in wet and dry conditions which impressed me throughly. They absolutely preform like a premium UHP-A/S should and are quite impressive. At 22k miles in the centers wore down to the wear bars but I kept using them because the outer edges had and still have decently safe tread. I'm at 26,000 (179,000 odo) miles as I write this post and encountered light snow today. They did fine which surprised me due to the balding in the centers. With that being said I really feel safe and trust this tire and more specifically its rubber compound in wet conditions. The dry preformance is quite strong. But the tread life really left me with a terrible taste and that's why its hard for me to recommend this tire without hestiantacy. Shame considering how well round of a sports tire this is.
Best For The Money!
Having run three sets of G-Force COMP-2 A/S since late 2016 on my 2013 Ford Focus ST, my review will be about that previous version of this tire and not the new "PLUS" model, which, coincidentally, I'm about to get a new set of. The COMP-2 A/S replaced the OEM tires on my Focus ST and totally transformed the way it drove, and in nothing but GOOD ways! Much better grip in the dry and wet, and alleviated the need for snow tires unless things got really nasty. For my Focus ST and driving style (Spirited), I've found the COMP-2 A/S will last a good two years in daily driving duties if mounted new in November or December, so you have maximum tread depth for the first Winter and driving in the snow. After Winter is over, I don't rotate the tires and just keep driving on them normally through Spring, Summer,and Fall, then rotate them just before the next Winter (November/December) so I have maximum tread depth on the front wheels for driving in the snow again. Remember, this is for my front wheel drive Focus ST and you may need to rotate the tires differently if your vehicle is rear or all wheel drive. I then drive the tires another year without rotating and by Fall or Winter of the second year all four tires are about equally worn, a few millimetres about the wear bars. For me, that's when it's time to get a new set of COMP-2 A/S but keep the old set to use for Autocross or Track Day driving as there's still plenty of tread for that and they're still excellent in the rain. Overall, in my humble opinion, this is an excellent Ultra-High Performance All-Season Tire and the best value for the money. You can easily get two to three Winter seasons when driven daily and even use them for several more years at track tires! What's there not to like about that? Well done, BFG, well done indeed!!
Exceeded expectations
Bought these back in January or February. For starters, they were great in the snow and I couldn’t expect anything more from tires that aren’t winter tires because they exceeded my expectations in that department. Next, they are great in dry weather driving, I do not drive easily and like to take corners at high speeds and the tires work together with my car flawlessly to not disappoint. I have yet to slide or lose traction in any manner in rain. Yes, they wear a bit quickly (but honestly not even that quickly), but you’re getting a great tire for the price. Also, the grippier the tires, the quicker they wear, so don’t complain about tread wear on ultra high performance tires. You just look goofy lol. There’s a nice donut media video on tires, I suggest you watch it. My only “complaint” with them is their is a noticeable amount of road noise. Again, it’s not that bad and my car is known for having poor sound insulation. Honestly, it’s a great all around tire that far exceeded my expectations in every area. The only way you’ll get anything better in my opinion would be to have top performing summer and winter tires. They were also really beefy looking when I first got them and I liked how that looked on my car lol.
Good grip, not too noisy but horrible tire life
I put these tires on my all wheel drive wagon and in three months I drove just over 8000 miles. The car was aligned prior to tire install and rechecked again today when I went in for a rotation and it was in spec. The rears are according to the shop due for replacement. The tires look great on the car and they are only mildly noisy. The grip is good. I have little experience in any kind of weather with these due to the short period of time they have been on my car. I'm hoping the manufacturer steps up as I am working with the shop who sold me these to get these returned under warrantee.

Cadillac XT4 AWD
I bought a set of these tires today and they handle nicely. We live in the California Mountains where we have windy mountain roads, get ice and snow in the winter. We needed an all season tire that would check all of the boxes. While we haven't had a chance to try it out in winter conditions yet, but we expect these tires to meet our needs. No growl or vibration issues that we seen in other reviews, They were installed on a 2019 Cadillac XT4 AWD SUV. I will add a comment after first snow.
My Go To All season tire
I've run through 4 sets of these on my Mazda 3. Avg 50k miles on every set. I drive hard and push my car through the corners. Excellent wet traction and braking with above average dry grip with very progressive slide at the limit. On some damp autocrosses we had the fastest time of the day. The only con is the tires do get noisy in the last 5k-8k miles.
Superior performance in wet conditions
This review comes 3 months into owning these tires. 225 front, 255 rear. Of the premium tires I have owned over 15 years, these are hands down the best on wet roads. Even under semi aggressive steering and highway speeds, they preformed beyond my expectations. I live in the Southern US and can only speak for performance in torrential downpours. No first hand feedback for reliability on snow.
Looks Great
I have these for my BMW X1. I also have a set for my old Nissan Juke. They work great and look great on both. I also had an older g-Force model on my BMW 3-Series. I've always loved the look, especially due to the built-up bulky shoulder blocks, which helps to give them a super wide appearance. And they ride very well for the same reason. I don't know or worry about how well they work in snow because I have authentic, dedicated snow tires for that (which I need for South Dakota winters and which I recommend to everyone). But I consider these to be wonderful, cool-looking, three-season tires.
Great tires but no match for Gatorbacks
Now that the G Force "Gatorbacks" are discontinued, Im forced ( no pun intended) to run these on my 6-7-8 series BMW's. Great performance but miss the velcro feel of the older style premier line.
Great All-Season Tire
I purchased this tire for my 2014 Scion FR-S after reviewing Consumer Reports. It is listed as an ultra high performance all-season tire and it really delivered in the snow. I did not want to own two sets of tires and the FR-S is my daily driver. They performed well on a snowy day, the bottom of the car was brushing against the unplowed road. In the summer they offer great grip and the sidewalls have really good stability. The sidewall of the tire looks different but it does to give stiffness to prevent blowout on low profile.
