Goodyear Eagle F1
Has any one got any thoughts on these tyres?

Cool

Hi Gary,

Theres been quite a few threads on these in recent weeks and all very positive. I've got them on mine and they are great in the wet and dry. One of the mags did a tyre test and the F1's came out joint top with the S02's - in other words I don't think theres a better tyre for the price

I got my 205 50 16 for 71 quid each, as a point of reference.

Cheers
Neil

Yep, I think you'd want 215/40/17's, I paid £303 all in for 4 fitted - There are deals on F1s if you shop around. Much better wet and dry grip than the Pzeros I had before - I now have much more confidence in the car.

Oh and £329 inc valves/balancing/vat etc etc all in
