BFG g-Force Sport Comp-2

Anyone have any experience with these tires? I was at Costo today ordering a set of PSS for the track and the salesperson suggested these. I still purchased the PSS, but they seem like an interesting tire.

I know BFG is owned by Michelin and the Comp-2 sounds a lot like the PSS. Just wondering if anyone has tried them out.

PSS and Comp-2 are in different categories. PSS is a Max Performance tire, while Comp-2 is an Ultra-High Performance tire. So, it won't be a fair comparison to do between the 2.

I've seen the categories and ratings on Tire Rack as well. I've also read posts on the M5 and M3 boards stating that they are a pretty good comparison to the PSS. I'm not sure any of the respondents were using them on the track.

I would expect the performance to be a little less...but how much and to what extent is the question(s). 235 front and 265 rear priced out about $200 less than the PSS. Am I concerned about $200...no. I just want to know if anyone has a qualifying opinion. I run 3 sports cars...they may be a good option for one of the roadsters if not on the track. With my extremely limited experience with setting up and maintaining a track car, and virtually no drive-time of my own, I'm trying to make the right investments for maximum return. If the tires hold up similar to the PSS in a track environment, I may be willing to trade a 1 second differential for $200 savings.

Like I said, I purchased the PSS. My current delimna is that I have new 225/255 PS2 on the coupe now. I wanted the increased size and the PSS seems to have a better wear and heat cycle longevity. So I'm thinking I'll use the PS2 on the street and the larger PSS on the track. The PS2 might return a better on-track performance, but it is softer tire...I'm hoping to get at least 8-10 track sessions from a tire.
