From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The BFGoodrich G-Force COMP-2 A/S is widely regarded as a high-performance, value-oriented tire that excels in wet and dry traction, often outperforming more expensive OEM options. While users frequently praise its aggressive handling and confidence-inspiring grip, a significant portion of the feedback highlights concerns regarding road noise and shorter-than-expected tread life.
Pros
- Exceptional wet and dry traction that inspires driver confidence.
- High value-to-performance ratio compared to premium competitors.
- Responsive steering and stable cornering capabilities.
- Aggressive, sporty aesthetic that many owners appreciate.
Cons
- Noticeable road noise, often described as a 'hum' or 'growl' that increases with wear.
- Tread life often falls short of expectations, with many users reporting premature wear.
- Tendency to develop vibrations or balance issues over time.
- Limited performance in deep snow or icy conditions despite being marketed as all-season.
Observations
- Owners of heavier vehicles or those with high-horsepower RWD platforms (e.g., Dodge Charger, Mustang) report excellent grip but note faster rear tire wear.
- Users transitioning from run-flat tires to these standard tires consistently report a significant improvement in ride comfort and noise reduction.
- Drivers of smaller, lighter cars (e.g., Miata, Civic) appreciate the handling improvements but sometimes find the tire's sidewall stiffness to be a trade-off for ride harshness.
The Firestone FireHawk AS is generally regarded as a high-value, sporty all-season tire that offers impressive dry grip and handling characteristics. While many users praise its longevity and aesthetic appeal, there is a notable divide regarding its wet-weather performance, with some users reporting significant concerns regarding hydroplaning.
Pros
- Exceptional tread life and durability
- Strong dry traction and cornering stability
- Attractive aesthetic design
- High value-to-price ratio
- Responsive steering feedback and sidewall stiffness
Cons
- Significant concerns regarding hydroplaning in heavy rain
- Potential for tread cracking after extended high-mileage use
- Availability issues at local retail outlets
Observations
- Owners of RWD performance vehicles like the Ford Mustang and Infiniti G35 report high satisfaction with cornering and handling.
- The tire demonstrates robust durability on high-torque FWD vehicles, effectively resisting belt shifting compared to other brands.
- Drivers of heavy, body-on-frame sedans appreciate the increased sidewall stiffness for improved steering feedback.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
