I just put a set of Eagle F1s on the back, replacing a set of PS2s. I still have the PS2s on the front until I can squirrel away enough money to get the F1s. I have about 1,000 miles on them so far and my impression is that the Eagle F1s stick much better than the Michelins. I can easily overwhelm the PS2s in a corner now by just mashing the throttle a bit harder. I can hear them start to howl, feel front of the car start to push to the outside, and then feel the traction control kick in and put everything back in line. I was never able to do that before with PS2s all around because the back would always break loose first. I can't wait to get a set of Eagle F1s on the front!

One word of warning about these tires: They are uni-directional, so you can't rotate them by just swapping wheels from side to side. You will have to un-mount the tires and switch them around. It could get expensive if you put a lot of miles on your car.
