Lightbulb Goodyears are good!

Switched from my winters michelin pa5 to my goodyear f1 and after several hundred miles am pleasantly surprised they are very close to my mps4 on my 18tts running 33/38 notice the camber on the rears seems aggressive I am on the exclusive wheels…how are you all liking your tires???

Default Goodyears -- great to hear

It would be great to get even more feedback from you. I only have 100 miles on mine but have not pushed them. Seem fine so far but that's just during break in. More details/color?

Let's face it. It would be incredible if Goodyear could start creating a tire competitive with Michelin. At least to create some more competition. Not holding my breath but would be nice.

They seem to be a loud tire, I should probably lower the pressure.

Hopefully not louder than P-Zeros

Yes they are a little louder than mp4s but not as loud as my pirelli 17 tt... lowering pressure does seem to help,,,still yet to drive in. really wet conditions…I hope the aggressive camber on the rears doesn't lead to premature wear on inside shoulders!!

I run std pressures. I have yet to get the tires to break loose. Even aggressive high speed corners I have yet to hear a squeal. I think the adhesion for a road tire is excellent. The compound is just soft enough to give great feedback. I am sure they would do fine for a DE day but that is not what I have in mind for this car. If and when the first set wears out I won't think twice about getting a 2nd set.

Not bad tires. Better than pirelli in every way but not as good as MP4S in any way.

No reason to swap before they wear out but also no reason to rebuy them either.
