This topic is a bit convoluted, bear with me. I'm trying to find a direct comparison between these two for COLD, dry and wet performance NOT snow. I know the Comp-2 is very good all around including snow, Neo not so much as its geared more for temp. than snow. Without a direct comparison its a crap shoot. I scoured the net including tire rack, Car and Driver and minimumtread.com. One or the other but not both. I'd like a noticeble edge of one over the other under these conditions if they exist. The Neo has more size options (205 and 215/40/17's) as well and I do have extreme winter contacts for real snow. I don't want to go 45 series defeats the purpose of getting the car and changes the gearing too much. You will notice the change even going to the 215's. Yes I'm cutting hairs, but thats me. Any input appreciated. Thanks, Stan
