Looked at all the tire from everyone, read all the forums - finally went with Goodyear F1's. So far they seem to work well, not much road noise; and hold in the rain. There are a couple roads around here that cut thru the Shenandoah Mtns. - posted MPH turns - could push the turns at 40 in my Jag X - the Xfire is a feeling of joy - too busy to notice how fast 55+ - it was great 2 weeks ago an Audi A4 was following me until the curves - then I was gone - took off - no Audi no mo.
