    I stumbled upon a new F1 with an asymmetric design that should be out anytime now. I was suprised to see they out performed my beloved Vredesteins. Keep on the lookout for appropriated sizes.

    Also: a road test I found:
    The excellent guys at Evo Magazine have just published the results of their 2007 tyre test.

    They scored each tyre in 5 categories - wet handling, aqua planing, braking, dry handling and a road test to judge comfort. They also back up the raw time data with subjective reviews on how the tyres felt which counted for 40% of the score.

    The results:
    1) Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric
    2) Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta
    3) Continental Contisport Contact 3
    4) Bridgestone Potenza RE050-A
    5) Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
    6) Pirelli PZero Nero
    7) Kumho Ecsta STP KU31
    Dunlop Sport Maxx
    9) Yokohama S.Drive

    We'll have to wait and see but I'm guessing those Goodyear's will cost a whole lot more and won't last as long.

    Nice find! I really like the F1s, and the Asymmetric sounds like it is a very cool evolution for this tire. :thumb3:
