Goodyear F1, Protenza S-03 - anybody have an opinion?

[erik@yoshimedia.com (Erik Seo)]

If you are looking for auto-x tires, Falken Azenis have just about the 
most grip of anything out there (not r-compound).  I don't like the 
turn-in compared to the Ecsta 712's, but the overall grip is way better.

Most cars driving in the SCCA auto-x STS class (a street tire class) 
are running this tire.  Of course if it's just for driving around town 
you could probably find 
something that does better in the rain and that doesn't wear so fast.

should find 2005/550/15's for about $70 a tire @ discounttiredirect.com 
or at vulcantire.com

> How about Dunlop SP8000s?  They are about $75/tire in a 195/50/15.  
Several of my friends have/do use them, and some people on the list do 
too.

> I need to replace some tires.  Currently have a car running Kuhmo 
ecsta 712s and thought I would try Yoko ES100 to compare but two models 
listed in the subject line aren't much more and have superior ratings 
on tirerack.  Anybody have an opion on wether they are worth the extra 
cash ($50-$60 more per tire) or any experiance with them.   I'm not 
sure what to get now.  If it were merly cosmetic I would go for the 
Yoko's but they are all cool looking and I just want to get the best 
performer.
