Default Goodyear Eagle F1 Fiorano

Anyone using these tires on their 996? I'm really unhappy with my ContiSports, and I've put about 16K miles on them so it's time for a change.

I'm in the Northeast so a tire that's good in the rain is helpful.

Thanks,
Rob

What sizes would you be using? They are strictly made in Ferrari sizes none of which really works on a 996. I have experience with these tires and I can tell you they are extremely dry performance oriented. Much noisier and less comfortable than most tires you've known too.

Thanks Viken, I guess I was thinking of the Goodyear F1 GS-D3 which should fit the 996. Same size as the standard 18" C4S Wheels I have since I'm not changing my rims.

Any recommendations?

riad - take a look at the Potenza RE750. These are great dry and wet traction tires.

I definately will thanks. My 2001 had the Pirelli PZeros, and although I liked them I went through tires like **** through a goose... they must be very soft tires.

I'll check out the Bridgestones, thanks.
