The tire was designed to stick – Asymmetric tread with large, solid tread blocks on the outside shoulder to optimize cornering grip.Razor-sharp reflexes – The same Performance Racing Core technology found in the BFG Comp2, with a reinforced internal structure ( Dynamic Suspension System) to reduce sidewall flex for instant steering response.The BFG Rival excels in handling due to performance technology that can be summed up in these bullet points: It’s easy to swap wheels and tires during dry and wet months, even if you only own one car. It’s no secret that the BFG Rival is optimized for dry weather handling rather than the wet, but that’s ok with me.

However, before we jump to any conclusions, let’s take a closer look at our experiences on the racetrack. The BFG Rival might even be the best new tire in the Tire Rack lineup for weekend autocrossers, road racers, and midnight canyon runners. Last week, I was given the opportunity to test the new BFG Rival at NOLA Motorsports Park, and it delivered on every single one of its claims. Michelin North America’s BFGoodrich brand just recently unveiled the all new BFG g-Force Rival, an ultra high performance tire designed for drivers that want versatile tires for their high performance street cars tires sticky enough to be used in autocross and track-day events, then driven home.
