I am with Sipie. Ive been using the F1's all summer and just put my winter tyres on (which I thought had good wet weather grip). Its been raining here for the past 2 days and they feel like slicks compared to how the F1's felt. If I boot it hard in 1st and 2nd you can feel it scrabbling for traction in the frount which I never felt with the F1's. Dry weather grip was every bit as good as well.
I never felt confident with the Bridgestone RE40's in the rain but it is the total opposite with the F1's.

Goodyear F1s in my opinion too, did track day with them and was amazed.
Also this months Jap performance, they use F1s on their project wrx at Snetterton, and they say:

And the Goodyear F1s proved to be superb. I'd have expected them to grip well, but they were almost ridiculously grippy.The car felt as if it were on slicks..........

there seems to be a problem with the F1 GSD3 splitting side walls!!!
also look at the TOYO proxes, excellent value for money and fantastic grip in the wet too, and the side walls don't split!
you say 205/45/17 if its a classic you are best off going for 215/40/17 cheaper and a better tyre for the car

I've just had a set of F1's put on my car. My god, what a transformation! I'd been running on dodgy Falken jobbies i'd got as part of the wheel/tyre package I bought about a year ago, and couldn't believe all these hot hatch nutters were leaving me sliding all over the place on roundabouts.....
Now with the F1's the Scooby handles and sticks the way it should. They have litterally transformed the car! Thanks to all who recommended them!
