BFGoodrich's new G-Force Sport Comp 2 ultra-high performance tyre is now on sale in Australia.
On the back of strong acceptance from owners of high-performance cars in the USA, the new tyre is claimed to have outperformed its competitors for traction on dry surfaces, without sacrificing tread wear.
With a "racing style" silica-based "Comp 2" compound and a reinforced core construction, the new tyre is claimed to deliver 30 per cent better grip in wet conditions, along with an improvement of eight per cent in the dry.
Braking is optimised via a "sport" tread design that enables braking as much as 4.9 metres shorter than its competitors in wet conditions and 2.7 metres shorter in the dry.
The US-made tyre is available in 18-inch and 19-inch sizes, and follows the recent introduction of BFGoodrich's Advantage T/A Drive tyre.
BFGoodrich Tires Australia Managing Director, Cedric Binoit, said: "While BFGoodrich is best known for its market leading off-road tyres; products like the G-Force Sport Comp 2 show that we are equally adept at producing top of the range products for the passenger car tyre market."
The G-Force Sport Comp 2 is available in the following sizes:
225/40ZR18 88W TL
245/40ZR18 93W TL
225/45ZR18 95W TL
245/45ZR18 96W TL
