I don't drive the car enough to comment on tire wear yet...

Traction in dry weather is amazing, but in wet weather is better than any tire I have worked with. I can his puddles going 45 mph and it cuts right through it without hydroplaning. I have so much more confidence with these tires in wet weather than the Nitto NT450s that I used to have.

I am more interested in cornering in my car than drag strip performance and I am more than impressed with these tires. I thought that the Kuhmos and Nittos that I used to have were good, but these blew me away.

As far as response, my suspension setup is very tight and reponds well almost all of the time so I can't really comment on these versus other tires. They are great for handing the twisties though...they don't break loose as quickly as the Nittos did.

others please. i plan on getting new tires this june and i have been looking at getting these for months. i want the 245/50/16s. i have some road max tires ....235/55/16s

I'm running 245/40/18's.

I can get a 1.9 60' on them at 28psi. Which is not bad for 18" tires with practically no sidewall...

I ran the car in an autocross a couple of months ago and got the best time of the day on them. This was at an f-body event with mostly v8 f-bodies, a Pontiac GTX, and a WRX. I run 38f/34r when autocrossing.

They are the most confident tire I've ever driven in the rain.

I've had them on the car for about a year now, but I haven't put much mileage on them. Maybe 5000 miles. I'd say they still have 75% tread left. That includes several autocrosses, and Evolution phase 1 and phase 2 classes back to back, where I put about 70 runs in one day on them.

The only complaint I have, and I think this is true with any z-rated tire, is if the car sits for more than a couple of days, and it's cold out, the tires vibrate/thump just a bit for the first 5-10 miles until they round back out again.

You want thump.... you should try 33 boggers that have set for a week. Feels like your tires are triangles...LOL

Sorry I know this had nothing to do with you thread viper.

These tires really really sound like a very good set. I don't think I have heard to may cmplaints from anyone who has used F1's. Other than possible the price. At least with tires you get what you pay for ....most of the time.
