The rear BFG's lasted no longer then 5k on the rear, they were bald right down the middle so I know it wasnt an alignment issue. They are listed as hipo summer tires, I put them on in the fall and they died in the winter. When these tires lose start losing their tread they very dangerous. Even in lightly rained hwy's the back wants to come on around if you try to go above 35mph. I do not recommend these tires at all.
When the sport comp 2's wear out in the front ill switch those to conti dws also. The sport comp 2's were VERY NOISY even when new. They sound like a bad wheel bearing at low speed. You'd have to be doing almost 80 to kill the noise.
I'm surprised to hear you say that about the Sport Comp 2's. I installed them on my SRT about 3 years/10,000 miles ago. They have performed well compared to the Michelin PS2's, even tread wear. They still have about 7/32 left. 10/32 new. I got 19,000 miles out of my first PS2's and only 12,000 out of the second set (stock alignment problems). No noise problems. I spin the back end all the time but that comes with the stock size and mod added power. I plan to just burn them off and then go with 275 or 285 on the back.
