Default Thats the highest mileage on Eagle F1s yet.

The Contis are beating it and they are quieter but they dont look as good and dont feel as tight in the bends.
No advice.

I chose to go with Michelin Latitude HP tires at ~31K

<http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.jsp?make=Michelin&model=Latitude+Tour+HP& amp;tirePageLocQty=>

The ride seems real nice with solid cornering and we have been giving them one heckuva test since we live near the base of the Kingsbury Grade in NV leading up to Lake Tahoe! 4600 to 7000 ft would have certainly brought out anything not to like about the tires :-)

The Michelins are far more expensive £335 per tyre in the UK. Eagles are £195 per tyre.

Default I got 24k out of my 20" Goodyear Eagle F1s. I replaced with Yokohama Parada Spec-X.

I wanted an all-season tire, and the Spec-X fit the bill. It is also alot quieter on the road than the F1. I'm sure I lost some cornering ability, but I haven't really noticed it.

Default How many miles have you put on the Yokos?

and how do they look now?
I am also on the Eagle F1s and they sure are a noisy tire. In recent extreme rain I noticed they like to aquaplane too.

Default Just got them, I would say about 550 miles. I like the looks, not as aggressive as the F1 but nice

I haven't had the opportunity to try out the all season capabilities yet.
