Now that I've wasted my worn out My BFG G-Force Comp 2 A/S, what is a good A/S tire to try next?
I give them a 6 out 10 for the reasons below. Time to try something different!
1) very noisy, and double that as tread wears towards replacement.
2) when parked hot and driven on a cool day (next day) they take a set and vibrate for about 3 highway miles and it goes away. Again, age related. New it wasn't a issue.
I was thinking about the DW06 but the tread pattern isn't continuous 360° which I find makes a tire set more predictable at speed.

I've had really good luck with Continental ProContacts on my Model Y
They have really good grip and minimal road noise. I also had good luck with them on my IS350 as well
I have Yoko's on my Sienna right now. Also a great choice, but the the problem I've had with them is they don't seem to last very long
I ran several sets of Yoko's on a heavy classic car, they handled great but they were soft and didn't last long.
Perhaps because i was hard on them in the corners and some straights! lol

The tire boys aren't going to be happy when they see the 255's out back. The plan is new tires and replace all TPMS, as they made it 10 years. I still never received a good answer about TPMS messages displayed in Techstream regarding battery health. To bad they just don't output the voltage until they don't.
There was a thread a while back on TPMS sensors and the question was, does the spare tire have a sensor? From the factory, the answer is no. However, the system does have a 5th sensor allocated if someone wants to install it. FWIW I bought new Denso sensors from fleabay and wanted to make sure they worked before installing them in the wheels. The first sensor was heated a little, hence it showing 79F.
Progress....
Diff and engine oil changed.
Brake parts are here for the rear. All OEM parts.
TPMS sensors are paired to car and installed in wheels. She's got new tires and this time I went with Continental DW06 Extreme Contact A/S vs another round of BFG's. Two gripes with the BFG's are road noise and cold start vibes. i.e. if you get them warm and park them, they take a set and vibrate for a couple miles.
This thing made a bit of metal as super fine bits. Likely the gear isn't meshing exactly as it was before. -sigh-
OS Giken Super Lock LSD Full Synthetic gear oil;
Our OS-250R gear fluid is a specially formulated synthetic gear oil that contains the proper amount of gear oil and limited slip additive for LSD protection and reliable locking performance for our RWD applications (currently, OS-250R is not recommended in transaxle applications). With that being said, we have had success using a select few non-OS fluids in regards to protection. Please see our current list below:
- Motul Gear Competition FF 75W140 - (FWD Transaxle, AWD, and RWD Applications)
- Motul 300 75W90 N/S - (FWD Transaxle, RWD)
- Swepco 210 – (Old Porsche 915/930 Gearbox Applications)
- Motocraft Synthetic Gear Oil 75W140 - (FWD, Transaxle Applications)
As we are constantly testing units with different fluids and will update this list as more come along. These are the select few over the years that have proven to work well in their given application.
