engineered from BFGoodrich's rich heritage of pavement racing and motorsports technology, the g-Force™ COMP-2™ A/S delivers the best wet and dry traction[1], stops up to 15 feet shorter on wet roads and up to 5 feet shorter on dry roads[2], and provides better snow traction than leading competitors[3]. These features combine for a driving experience that will give consumers the confidence to take on the road no matter the season.
The ultra-high performance g-Force™ COMP-2™ A/S incorporates a Performance Racing Core (PRC) that delivers crisp responsive control while cornering hard on wet, dry or light snow-covered roads. The technology is directly derived from track tires. The g-Force™ COMP-2™ A/S enhances traction at speed for increased acceleration, while still maintaining ride comfort.
