I have read all the previous posts - and noticed a thread where a UK member chose to run with Eagle F1's, I guess I would like to know how they got on, compared to the PS? Apologies for aiming this specifically at UK members but our roads and driving conditions are significantly different to the US.
Many thanks,

The Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3’s are an excellent choice. In most tire comparison tests, they came in first place. The PS2's usually finish in second, third or fourth place. An added bonus, they are several hundred $$$ cheaper than the PS2’s.
Here is a link to a tire comparison test from Car and Driver magazine:

The article is 13 pages long, with the results of the test on the last page. I posted the results if you don’t feel like reading the entire article.
