2025 Tire Rack Extreme Performance Track Tire Test
The BFGoodrich g-Force Rival + is an endurance-focused tire with harsh road manners, transmitting impacts transparently with omnipresent noise and very quick, almost overly eager steering. In wet conditions it felt edgy at the limit with a narrow plateau, though it recovered quickly and delivered surprisingly strong wet braking. Dry track performance was more forgiving but corner-exit traction could abruptly disappear into understeer. The slowest on average in the long road course test, it nonetheless maintained excellent consistency and reliability. Wear analysis showed almost no compound loss after several runs, reinforcing its endurance nature. It needed more front axle traction through extended cornering but brought pleasant, compliant characteristics with strong braking and appropriately weighty steering.
