Depends on what size wheel you have... I would not have gone with Goodyear if I had 18" wheels... but seeing that I have 19's, the Goodyear Eagle F1's were by far the best buy... So with that being said, you should let us know what size wheel you have and what you are looking for (traction, wet traction, etc)

I have Pirelli Pzero Nero M&S's on my car and I absolutely love them. Toyo T1R's are great tires too.

They are only 17's : 225/45/17 front and 245/40/17 back I don't have a very powerfull car (323 auto) but I'm agressive when it comes to curves. I have Kuhmo's on right now and they are noisy , they don,t really stick much . Although I'm looking for lots of grip, I want to keep that sport thread look (Y'all know what I mean) . Thanks all

I am getting Potenza S03 pole positions (225/45) all around. They are supposed to the nearly the best option for cornering in both wet and dry.

How long should my Goodyear Eagle F1's last considering I don't drive my car hard at all, don't track it, and spend most of my miles on the highway?

I got potenza S03's on, cant say that Im really that impressed, I think my next set I will go back to Michelin Pilot Sports, like those tires better. Just my 2 cents.

BFGoodrich gForce T/D KDW II's. I have these in 18"s (they come in 19"s as well) and they are unbelievably sticky. Good price too

You want something better than the Contisports but cheaper, quieter, smoother, longer life, higher speed rating and better performing? Then try out the General Exclaim UHP! I have 225/45-ZR 17s mounted and balanced by Discount Tire. I paid $460 out the door for 4 new tires w/ road hazard warranty and lifetime rotate and balance. The price includes two of my Conti's with 5 mm of wear for a trade-in.
These tires are sweet for OEM fitment, and pretty much better in every category than my old Contis, and made by General/Continental. Plus they have that aggressive thread look you are after.
