Tires BFGoodrich or GT Radial

I was in the same boat and I decided to roll with the BF Goodrich g-force comp 2 A/S tires. So far they're awesome and I have no complaints after about a month.

I recently went through this with my 2012 Passat with 18s on it. I decided to try something different. I did the BF Goodrich Comp 2 A/S tires. Very reasonably priced, Z rated, and has extremely good ratings for dry, wet and snow. So far I am very pleased.

I have heard good things about GT Radials... I use "Road Hugger GT Eco" (aka Kumho something or other) and they have been great. Low noise, (relatively) good grip for being low rolling resistance.

I bought a set of GT radial Champiro with the expectation that it will be just a crap daily driver set. They actually have really good grip for non race tires. Seriously, so much so that when I put the front set on and went to autocross, it caused my car to spin out because the front had more grip than the rear.

Tires are 235 40 18 GT Radial Champiro UHP1 Ultra-high performance summer tire ^ VERY sticky tire w/stiff side wall (nice handling and picks up lots of little pebbles - but I would not trust this tire below 40 degrees)

I run a set of GT Radial WinterPro HP. 245/45/17 all around. Very cost friendly set of tires @ <$100/ea.

I had a great winter season last year, even in the midst of our huge snowstorms and freezing weather.

If you can afford it I suggest BFG. Michelin bought them, kept their price structure, but imposed Michelin quality controls on production.

I bought bf winter slaloms for my girlfriend and I this year. Live in Canada. Really bad winter. They were amazing and was not disappointed. From what I read online these were best bang for the buck.

just some feedback, stray away from bfg g-force kdw2 if you dont want noise. they handle amazing wet and dry, wearing good. BUT they have alot of road noise. not as much as my winters, but more than i would like.

Hmm I did not know this. I can say I have had bad experiences with bf.
