I use the F1's on my car and they are great. They totally wipe the floor with the pirelli's that i took off in every department. Can't compare them to the Michelin though as haven't had them on the car.

I think having read the reviews and comments on here .... the Goodyear Eagle's are a no brainer ..... they are cheaper than the competition and most agree offer better grip, feedback and are less noisey. And Goodyears are still used by the Formula One teams ... so good eneough for me! :)

If they perform like they do on the S4, I agree - go for it :thumbs:

I'm using ContiTouringContac CW 95's changed from high wear F1's. Paid £100 per corner balanced and fitted. They are as good as the F1's and have had no prob at 145. Felt fine and they are v good in the wet. If anyone wonders the 145 was on blue's and two's on a quiet dual carriageway going to a callout on a Sunday. Very very sadly, a fatal RTA.

Does any one have Toyo Proxes T1-Rs fitted? When I changed the F1s to these on my Mondeo ST200 the improvement grip was staggering. I have to admit the durability did drop a bit. :lol:

Me too.....their Eurpean website is still showing the GSD3's however another call to a local supplier in the north east leads me to suspect that there is either a drastic shortage of them or indeed they are being phased out!!! Oh bugger!!!!

The Eagle F1 Asymmetric looks to be an option.....
