Well they have been on my car for the last 2 weeks now.
Usually when you go from a set of worn tires to a new tire even though the new tire may be of a lower performance level, usually the immediate impression of new tires is that they have more grip.
How ever this is not the case with the F1's.
I Used to have Falken 235*40*17 which i generally have no complaint with, I decided to give the F1's a go. I consider this to be a Big mistake.
The Goodyears screech a lot going around corners hard.
They also tend to slip or loose traction a lot earlier than my previous tires. I would no be very confident of these tires going on a track.
They are supposed to have very good wet holding charateristics, but its still warm here so no wet road experiences yet.
But for Dry road I would keep away from them.
