But, if you want another tire to consider, check out the General G-MAX AS-03. It's not quite the equal of the BFG Comp-2 A/S but it at least is somewhat similar and is also sorta competent in the winter.

I have heard good things about the GMax AS03 from general. My brother has them on his G35. They feel quite sporty. However, there are numerous reports that they make noise as they wear. Loud noises! Like mud truck tires or bad wheel bearings. Sure enough, my brothers car does have a roaring wheel bearing type sound that increases with speed. We replaced one wheel bearing on that car, the sound is still there. Writing this now, it just came to mind all of the General Gmax noise complaints. I'm curious if the GMax are causing my brothers G35 noise. I'll check next time I'm under his car, and report back with what I find.
