Next was a sweeping left-hander, which narrowed toward the end for a slightly decreasing radius corner. Going into the slalom, you could tell the ground was plenty wet, but the car's steering remained responsive, allowing me to finish the course without plowing through too many cones. Launching the DSG-equipped GTI (kept in sport mode for the duration of the test), I experienced a bit of wheelspin on takeoff, but was able to gain traction not long after. We first drove the course on the BFGs, which held up reasonably well against the slippery asphalt surface. The GTI was the weapon of choice for this demonstration, and the tires compared against the Comp-2 were the Kumho Ecsta SPT and Hankook Ventus V12 Evo. Our first test took us to the parking lot of the Auto Club Speedway, where BFG set up a wet autocross course. The Comp-2 will take the g-Force Sport's place in the lineup as the brand's Ultra High-Performance (UHP) offering, slotting beneath the top dog g-Force T/A KDW summer tire in price. The Comp-2 carries a UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grading) tread wear rating of 340/AA/A, identical to the current g-Force Sport's rating. The Comp-2's directional tread pattern is similar to the g-Force Sport it replaces, with BFG's signature "g-Hooks" and shallow shoulder blocks.

In addition, the Comp-2's structure is reportedly 40 percent more rigid, with the addition of g-Control wedge inserts in the sidewall, and BFG's Equal Tension Containment (ETEC) system surrounding the tire's internals. The Comp-2 moniker stands for compound two, a next-gen silica-infused tread compound that BFG says helps the new tire achieve 30 percent better wet grip and 8 percent better dry grip than the outgoing g-Force Sport.

BFGoodrich picked California's Auto Club Speedway as the test site for the launch of its g-Force Sport Comp-2, the successor to the current g-Force Sport.
