Which tire is better?

I have a choice between BFG Comp T/A or G-Force KD tires. Which one is the better tire to go with?

The g-force T/A is a newer tire and I believe it was brought out to eventually replace the Comp T/A. I just bought a set of G-force T/A KDW's for my ROC. Although I won't get them on for about a week.

I've also heard the same thing; i loved the comp version haven't had a chance to run the replacements. I went with michelin because it's a little harder compound, the comp ta's and the like are so soft they wear out easy if you play around at all.

overall though they are nice tires for sure.

Get the G-Force instead of the Comp TA's. I recently saw an LS1 pull a low 1.8 60 ft. on a set of G-Forces - on his way to a 12.5 pass. He had a 4000 stall, and was still able to pull low 1.8's. But, if you want a tire w/ longer life and don't care about traction - get a harder compound tire.
