There is no poll about which tires to get, I just want to know if anyone has connections or knows of any deals. I want 4 goodyear eagle f1 all seasons in 245/45-18 Tirerack has them for $190 each no tax but paying shipping. ---

everybody says every tire is good on tirerack. I would shop discount and open your options up a little more. spending that much for an all season is crazy. ---

only trust the tire rack tests on their site. the user comments are lame, but they do testing on their own. so far the nest tire for your money seems to be the Ecsta SPT.

I have 4 hankook rs2’s with 700 miles on them for my mustang in that size and i want to sell them as i have went with a 275/315 r18 setup. They aren’t runflats, they are very good summer tires tho, and they will hook and handle much better, and be much much cheaper. if something like this interests you for half the price give my cell a call 380-5426. ---

The majority of user reviews are from people replacing worn out and out of balance shit tires with brand new ones, and they can’t believe how much better the new ones are. did you read the results I posted at all, the Kuhmo and Yoke’s have significantly more negative reviews, miles used. Also did you read the review of them, they stated that the Yoke’s and Kuhmo’s where better suited for on the track > Our 1/3-mile per lap test track course includes 90-degree street corners, lane changes and simulated expressway ramps. Run in both dry and wet conditions, the test track allows our team to experience the traction, responsiveness, handling and drivability normally only encountered during abrupt emergency avoidance maneuvers or competition events. > While the three replacement tires turned relatively quick average lap times under dry conditions, the AVS ES100 edged out the Ecsta SPT, followed by the Exclaim UHP and Eagle RS-A. The AVS ES100 generated ultimate cornering grip that just edged out the Ecsta SPT, while the Exclaim UHP’s aggressive tread design and compound offered surprisingly good grip and predictable handling while running faster lap times than the Eagle RS-A. > With the track wet to simulate the conditions of a moderate rain shower, the Kumho SPT delivered the best overall traction and fastest average lap time, slightly ahead of the Exclaim UHP with both tires distancing themselves from the AVS ES100 and the Eagle RS-A. Since our test track’s watering system is designed to simulate a moderate rain shower, the water depth and average speeds did not allow our team members to experience the Exclaim UHP tire’s exceptional hydroplaning resistance. The Eagle RS-A was not able to match the overall handling of the other three tires, delivering gentle understeer when pressed to its grip limits. If you are looking for a better DD tire that can still take a beating get the UHP. Tirerack did no long term tests, and there enough people that continuously buying UHP that I would consider them. ---

The car will never see snow, but it will see plently rain I am sure. The F1 all seasons out performed the summers on the skid test and have a far better wear rating. Plus carbon fiber side walls sounds cool. ---
