The BFG Comp T/A ZR in the GRM Neon ACR compares w/ Firestone Firehawk SZ50,
Goodyear Eagle GS-C or F1 Steel, Bridgestone RE730 and Dunlop SP Sport 8000
(none of which are all season). In the three tests TireRack publishes
comparing these tires the BFG Comp T/A ZR has the least dry traction and
highest lap times of the 5 tires.
I know that the SpecV has been tested with Continental ContiSport tires but
haven't a clue if they were on the test car or how it compares with the Comp
T/A ZR... Tires make the biggest difference after the driver, right :^)...
