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

[ty@festf.org (Tyler P.)]

Well, I have the 712's on my rocco and really like them.  These tires =
will
actually be for my bmw and will be 17's.  I haven't seen the dunlop =
sp8000
in the size that I'm looking for (235/45/17) and the sp9000 and sp8080e =
have
lower ratings on tirerack so I really haven't looked at them.  Also, =
some of
the reviews of the Goodyear f1's were compared to the dunlop sp8000 and =
they
said they were far better than dunlop. =20

This will be a daily driver, mostly freeway, in the rainy pacific =
norwest
(seattle area).  Frankly, from everything I look at the Goodyears are
looking really promising but I don't know if they are really worth 200 =
extra
when I know the 712's and es100's are already great performing tires =
and are
about $90-100 for my size.

Wet traction is very important to me. =20

If you are looking for auto-x tires, Falken Azenis have just about the=20
most grip of anything out there (not r-compound).  I don't like the=20
turn-in compared to the Ecsta 712's, but the overall grip is way =
better.

Of course if it's just for driving around town you could probably find=20
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. =20
Several of my friends have/do use them, and some people on the list do=20
too.
