Default Tires?

I am undecided on which tires to get. I can decide between Goodyear Eagle F1 gs d3, Nitto Invo, Michelin Pilot Sports, or Pirelli P-Zero. Any input on these would be helpful. Also where is a good place to buy them price wise?

Default I love GY F1's and will be getting them again on my GLI. Tirerack is the best price I have found

However, if you are tracking/autox'ing at all, then look at something else.. the sidewalls are too soft for that. They're hands down one of the best street tires I've ever had on my cars.

Default 2nd..I love the Eagle F1's as well.

I have Pilot Sport PS2's on the car right now, I like the F1 GS-D3's more for what I do (mostly regular driving) The sidewall on the PS2's is so soft, a wood chip put a good size hole in mine right on the edge!

Default that's a pretty wide range of tires

I would say stay away from Nitto...from my experience with the NT555 at least. There are a couple different P-Zeros...which ones are you considering?

The Pilot Sports always get pretty good reviews, but they're super expensive. I'd start with a price range and then choose tires based off that, as well as intended use/purpose of course.

Default You have to be kidding me.

I wouldn't begin to throw those in the same sentence as F1's.

I dunno, #1 Rated UHP at a silly price.Made in Germany, just like F1s.I use them too, if that helps.

Default I got 38K+ out of Eagle F1 gsd3 and still had good tread b/f I sold the wheels

225/45/17 on an s4 &amp; then on my a4 (switched wheels when I sold the s4) AWESOME tire in my opinion.
