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 S790 receives a poor reception from users, primarily due to significant issues with directional stability and handling predictability. While the tire demonstrates adequate grip levels, the driving experience is described as exhausting due to constant steering corrections required to maintain a straight path.
Pros
- Progressive breakaway characteristics when grip is lost
- Adequate overall dry grip levels
Cons
- Poor directional stability and tracking
- High driver fatigue due to constant steering corrections
- Lack of ride comfort despite the profile specification
Observations
- Users transitioning from premium performance tires like Pirelli report a significant degradation in vehicle stability and handling composure.

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.
