Default Which F1's?

Looking at Tire Rack's website I see a few:

Eagle F1
Eagle F1 Fiorano
Eagle F1 Supercar
Eagle F1 GS
Eagle F1 GS-D2

Most of the above don't appear to come in a size to fit the S4.

What car did EVO test them on?

Default I bought a set of these for my Z28....

There are two "ultra" performance models that I remember, but come in different sizes (with some overlap). F1's and F1 "Steel" or something.

I thought they were incredible. I replaced a set of GS-C's, which sucked total *** in the rain, IMHO.

I got the F1's for wet-traction, and heard that they were quieter. They were great in both respects. Great traction, and a more comfortable ride, to boot.

But, as Zoltan pointed out, they were BUCK$. I paid around $1200 for tires/mounting/balancing/alignment check, IIRC. (Oh, and Kalifornia sales tax.)

I read that too. The beloved S-03 faired poorly.
