I believe they did as they had BFG decals on all the cars.

They've always had those decals, BFG is a track sponsor. From last August 31st and those tires are PS2's.

I would think that the track sponsorship money would require the track to use sponsors product no?

I'm pointing out your statement is inaccurate. The cars had the BFG decals yet had Michelin PS2 tires. That's fact. Now guess who owns BFG?

Last November my car had PS2 tires, but others had BFG.

BFG just released their new G-Force Comps in April and I'm looking for feedback on them. At the press release for their new tires they had two Boss 302's with the new tires on them and gave the press rides in them.

It was not a statement it was an assumption, hence the question mark. I just completed the Track Attack and while I was there I kept meaning to check to see what tires we were on but I never remembered to do it.

Fair enough. BTW Michelin owns BFG.

I would say this answers the question.....I guess it is easier to read the sticker at 100mph than the sidewall of the tire

So I guess you didn't read post 42...

No worries I have a friend attending May 4th and he'll see if the BTA cars are using the new G-Force Comps.

You guys are funny. Just happy Ford and MMP were willing to make an exception so I can attend! Love my Boss, just wish I could make it to Track Attack before heading to "The Ring"

It's an affirmative as of 4/11/12 they were wearing Michelin ps2. Didn't realize how good they were either. Not bad for such an old design of a tire. They got greasy around the 5th lap. Btw mine were pretty much down to the cords by the time I was done with them. They didn't look to happy

The most amazing thing about these bosses were the performance friction brakes and brembo floating rotors. Mine felt like ice when I got to get on track yesterday at wsir.

So I guess you can`t read the side wall on the tire sitting still... look at the picture!!
It clearly is the Michelin with the big BFG sticker above..

If I remember correctly when I went last August, they used PFC 01/97 front/rear. Is that what they had this time? What pads were you using at WSIR? Are you going to try the PFCs as your next set?

That's correct, they said they were on the 01/97 combo. I was on stock pads/rotors. I wanted to see the time differences with my suspension mods before I added brakes. I'm ordering my 01/97 combo today.
