they're not as sticky in the dry...i put a set on my M6 and going around the first turn, immediately noticed the difference...

I read some threads a couple months ago on tires in general,
and BF Goodrich's specifically.

Now, excuse me if this question repeats any others, but what's
the general consensus on the BFG Comp T/A VR4?

I ran Michelin XGTV4s for about 35 to 40K miles into this fall, was
pretty happy with dry and wet performance, and was happy with
snow performance during the first of 2 NE winters I went through
with them...

Anyway, a sales guy at one of the big warehouse stores
recommended the BFG Comp T/A VR4 for both handling and
treadwear.  It's obvious that the treadwear index is much higher
than the michelin (both in V-speed rating), but is there anything
else I should think about before buying?  Do they handle well?
Do they go through the dry stuff, the wet stuff and the fluffy stuff
well?

I'd appreciate any opinions that you folks can offer!

Thanks,
