BFGoodrich gForce Profiler 2

All Around Great Tyre! Will Find Hard To Beat!

Fantastic hardwearing and great feedback, what more could you want in a tyre!
PS, much, much better thah TOYO Proxey4 in my opinion for this type of car!

the best tire i ever had
the grip is fantastic

I can't really fault them, especially when you consider the 'budget' price. I have had P-Zero's and Bridgestones on when I bought the car and the Bridgestones would slide into under steer way to easily and the P-Zero's on the back would brake away without any warning. So much so that I did once do a full 180 and fell off the road. Thank god no-one else was on the road and I just slid along the grass verge.

BFG's have none of the above characteristics. Pushing on reveals plenty of feel, you know when your reaching the limit of grip, the front usually goes first into under steer, but that's Scooby's for you.
I did some track driver training and when we had to force the car into over steer we had trouble in mine, the back simply wouldn't brake away at the speeds most other drivers were doing, we had to go 10-15mph faster for the same effect.

4 hot laps of the 'Ring' showed they are equally at home there as on the M25 at 70mph. And in a 3000mile blast round Europe I had no problem going round corners at similar speeds to others on Toyo Proxes, R888's etc.

Done well over 20,000 miles on this set and they still have 1 or 2mm left which should see me to the summer, then I'll put some more on.

Very good grip in dry conditions. Not so good cornering as Bridgestone´s Potenza. Outstanding braking in dry. Aquaplannig in very wet conditions. Wet grip needs improving.

Although driving a car not renowned for great handling, these tyres certainly did the biz in terms of pointing and directing the nose into corners, i noticed fantastic front end grip, compared to ther tyres whereras other tyres which tend to understeer, (admittedly not helped by the type of car). The stiff walls of the profiler 2 stop tyre roll noticeable helping avoid undertsteer transforming the agility of such heavy car. Car felt solid and steady mid corner and so controllable inspiring a lot of confidence. From motorway driving to country road thrashing, these tyres cope with everything thrown at them. The more you hammer them the more they enjoy it and reward the driver. Despite combination of different types of driving, wear rate seemed very good although only limitted miles driven. A definite repeat purchase.

excellent wear 28,000m on front still just legal but replaced as 200 miles motorway a week..unmovable wet/dry roads.tendency to ride ridges a bit,but think thats because high grip.Put them on rear 3months ago and now renewed them on front. Fully recommend them 100%.

I've had BFG Profilers on just about everything me and my wife have owned in the last 8 years. From a 340bhp Calibra Turbo, to two Mercedes Cosworths, to a 328i Coupe, to a 1.4 6n Polo! I've logged the Cal-T as the car for this review, as I did about 100,000 miles in it with BFG tyres. The 328i saw 70K with BFGs. Other cars much less.

My current car, Alpina B3, has Michelin Pilot Sport 2 - these are matched to the car, and must be fitted - so comparisons are drawn against them. I've also compared them against Yokohama AO24R as fitted to my 200sx Touring.

Compared with the two premium sports tyres listed above the BFGs are very good indeed - they grip well, they have decent breakaway characteristics, reasonably solid sidewalls, seem to dissipate heat well, and are good in the wet. Aquaplaning characteristics are especially worthy of a mention - I've never had a BFG Profiler shod car aquaplane.

They also last forever.

I had a set on my Calibra Turbo, with about 20K already on them. Running at 250bhp+ at the time, they survived 70 laps of Goodwood with only minor peeling, and gave another 4K after that.

Don't laugh at the Calibra on a track bit - it was actually a good test bed for stuff like this. The dim-witted chassis belies a massive amount of mechanical grip and at somewhere open like Gooders, you can lean on the 4wd to a shocking extent. In the dry, it was lapping at similar times to a Grp N Cossie. In the wet I was about 10 seconds faster.

In the Mercedes Cosworth the dry grip was such that they would roll onto the sidewall before actually losing grip.

Compared with the MPS2 on the Alpina, which are very noisy, and last about 20K miles a set, and the Yokos, which are hopeless in the wet, and last about 6K miles on a 200sx, the BFGs are amazing value for money.

Finally, my Brother runs a tyre outlet, and without fail, he will fit BFG Profilers to his cars (and he's got a lot of cars!). He's also put them on mates cars - 450bhp Sierra Cosworth included. I've yet to find any of my mates complain about BFGs - no matter what they've been fitted to.

Approximate wear rates;

Vauxhall Calibra Turbo 4x4 @ 340bhp over 100,000miles = 30K per set (inc track work)

BMW 328i Coupe Auto @ stock over 70,000 miles = 25K per rears, 50K+ on the front

VW Polo 1.4 8v 6n @ stock over 24,000 miles = no visible wear!

Mercedes 190E 2.3-16 @ stock over 10,000 miles = no visible wear!

I highly recommend these tyres.

Do I get a prize now then?
