Gregg, I feel a little pathetic saying this, but wearing your car's tires down to chords might just be my crowning achievement behind the wheel. Now I can say that I can drive the wheels, err tires off a car, I know at least one person will believe me

I've never run their tires because I couldn't get a matched set before, but I've heard good things about them, and I can't decide if I want to just replace my rear PS2s or live dangerously and buy a set of Falkens, so long as they last as long or longer than the NT05s

Matt
I got more miles out of the Falkens than the NT05's not alot more but more I think I got 1200 miles from the Nt05 and I am at 1800 miles on the Falkens, keep in mind that is all track time but about 300 miles. they have one more event in them and then time to replace.

Kevin, just curious, but did BF Goodrich change the certificate they give out to GG autox winners? Does it only allow you to redeem a set of Sport Comp 2s? Last year the certificate I won allowed me to pick almost any tire except for R1s and a few specialty tires provided they were 18's or smaller, and even then the number of tires I could actually use was pretty limited.

Should make for interesting conversation if you were sponsored by BFG and are now running something else.

Good way to push up the Michelin PS2's
I guess that could explain why I'm waiting for four of them from the Dallas Ft. Worth GG show last year... A phone call or email would have been nice. I guess I could call them but then I might have to pick something else...

And yeah - then new GG prizes specify Sport Comp 2s...

That is not what I wanted to hear (provided I am lucky enough to win another in the future), but thanks for the answer

Funny... I wondering if anyone that has one this year even has a car with a wheel package that Sport Comp 2s would fit on?
