Im seriously considering the new Goodyear Eagle F1 all season tires. They are filling the new niche of ultra high performance all season tires that really are "all season". Everything I have read so far stated great dry performance and wet performance...not to mention the "wet leaf performance"...

Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS. Only tire I've been able to drive with more than a dusting of snow. Got caught in a sudden snowstorm one night and these plowed through 2-3 inches without missing a beat. Other tires I've had wouldn't have gone five feet without getting stuck. Very quiet also. Cons: Amazing ability to separate mud from water, leaving the water on the roadway and slinging the mud onto your wheel wells and rocker panels. Happens every time I drive in the rain, even on "clean" streets.

+1 on the Fuzion ZRi's i just put the 16" turbo phone dials on my 87S and went with the 224f/245r fuzions, they are awesome for the money. Will outperform more expensive tires.

Fuzion ZRi is a great tire! cheap, great in the rain, sticky enough for track work, don't wear quickly, quiet... Love em!

Has anyone run this tire?
At 200 bucks less then a set of Bridgestone RE-01R's and decent reviews I might give them a shot.
