The BFG G Force Super Sport all season is less than 2 months old so I don't know if anyone has had the chance to hear about it, or even try it out yet. I was just wundering how it would stack up against the B-Stone RE 960 Pole Position all season especially in COLD, DRYweather handling/traction??
It's completely useless trying to speak to each respective company's compounding techs as the operators WILL NOT put you through, and even if they did you would probably get the same 'proprietary info' [censored] claims one gets from the oil companies.
Trying to figure this out for myself, I've come to these conclusions; the Potenza seemsto be more snow/ice/slush/rain oriented, and the G Force seems to be much more dry handling oriented. I am only going by the tread pattern for this speculation, since the BFG has a much 'blockier' outside shoulder/edge, whereas the B-stone has a MUCH 'sipeier' outside shoulder/edge. My car EATS outside edges on the front (EVEN with 2* negative front camber and 40psi pressures on the street! ), so I'm a little wary of chunking/tearing the 960's. At the same time I'm afraid that due to the lack of silica in the compound of the G Forces, they may turn into the proverbial "blocks of ice", just like a max/ultra performance summer only tire does in But without knowing the compounding (or people with actual experience with both tires), it is hard to guess which one will be superior in the cold, dry straight line and handling traction I am seeking. We all know what tread wear ratings are worth between two different company's products, right??(They are barely worth anything within the same company!!!!
ANYONE have any clues/insights into this dilemma??
