Default BFG Comp T/A vs. BFG G-Force... which is better?

I hear people constantly bragging about how good their BFG GForce DR's are and today I thought I bought a set, but when I got home and placed them next to my Nitto 555R's I noticed somethin very strange about their apprearence, turns out I bought Comp T/A DR's instead. So the question, which is the better tire, the Comp T/A or the G-Force? I see the Comp T/A has a 'block' shaped tread pattern vs. my Nitto's 'slashed' tread and the lower profile of the Nitto's as well, did I get the wrong tires for my Civic or what? BTW I bought a set of 225/50R15's.

the GForce have a softer compound and more suited to FWD applications.

Ugh that's what I feared.. these T/A's look like something I see on domestics and other RWD muscle cars. Wonderful....

Man, the same thing happened to me and I drove on them for a couple of days then noticed the tread. I went back and was like, this isn't what I ordered OR what was on the bill. They were like, we can't take those back b/c they are used. I just said, this isn't what I paid for and I want what I paid for, the G-forces. Anyways, I got some G-forces but haven't tried them out at the track yet but for some reason I do know they hook very well when you're racing a cobra at a stoplight.
