A question about running that DS tire, has anyone experienced increase wear or troubles with rear wheel bearings, final drive, swingarm bushings etc from running a CT?
233,000 on my ST and I have only replaced the wheel bearings and flange bearing one time at 100,000 miles.

Anyone tried the G force comp2 a/s plus? I can't find the tire in regular and I guess the PLUS is now the new tire model.

Costco still has both options listed - currently out of stock. I don't think it's a replacement, rather its another model line.
The "A/S Plus" has a different pattern and a higher load index compared to a recommended MC tire - it's also rated as Summer only.

Edit: yes the comp2 as plus is an update from the comp2 as. The gforce sport comp2 is a different tire (and has a lower load rating)

You have two different tires. The sport is not the same tire as an A/S. Sport is for dry roads only, see the SUMMER right in your ad? All Season is what we have been running.

Well my testing of the BF Goodrich G-Force Comp 2 is over. I've moved on to another tire. The last BF Goodrich G-Force Comp 2 I mounted is the best tire I've ever run on a bike. Handles great and lasts a lot of miles. I wore out the last tire pretty good with 51870 miles. It was a little too wore out and possibly unsafe to ride in rain so off it came.

New tire is on and I went with a BF Goodrich G-Force Comp 2 PLUS. The PLUS seems no different and the same to mount, tough. I rode it 4 miles and the tire feels exactly the same with no "whip" coming out of a turn. Like everything the price has gone up a bunch. The tire was $175.21 with taxes, ordered through and shipped to Walmart for my pickup at the store.

Old tire:
