Decision time... G-Force Sport Comp 2 vs. Firehawk Indy 500...

So I've narrowed my search for new summer tires down to these two and CAN NOT decide.
I'll take anything I can get in hopes to sway me one way or another; pictures, pros, cons, autox videos, what ever you can do to sell me one or the other, I'd love your input!!!

thanks in advance! 😊

I have the Comp 2 A/S - previous were Comp 2 summer only tires. I like them enough that I bought them again (but in A/S form).

BFG is a Michelin company.

I'm a week into a set of the Comp 2 A/S and they are far,far better than I expected on my '05 R53. Dry grip is great, they are a bit smoother over the bumpies, and wet grip is lightyears ahead of the Yoko S-Drives they replaced.highly recommended!

Since you're looking at summer tires, why not consider the
new Continental ExtremeContact Sport.
Not sure what size you're running, but these come in 205/55/16 and
205/45/17 (and 215/45/17). I just got these in 205/55/16, and am
very happy with dry and wet performance as well as feel, comfort, and
lack of noise,and they will wear fairly well for a max performance summer tire.
They have received a couple stellar reviews in Grassroots Motorsports
(current issue - no link for this) and here:

... or the Michelin Pilot Super Sport in 205/45/17 or 215/45/17.

Comp 2s are by far the better choice. Used them for years now and great.
