Default 01 02 WS6 OEM Tire Brand ?

Just wondering if anybody know what specific brand/model these cars had new from the factory ? Looking at lower mileage cars and sometimes from the pics it is hard to tell the tread wear and tire condition and often if they are not original owners they can't confirm if tires were changed out after 12-13 yrs. Knowing this would help in detrmining if original tires or not on some of these cars. Thanks.

I think I found the answer:

Goodyear Eagle F1 speed-rated

You are correct about Goodyear y2k600f4.
P275/40ZR17. The Option Code was QFK.
Source: 2001 Product Portfolio notebook. My regular T/A came with the Goodyear GS-C if you ever consider a non WS6.

My '02 came with Goodyear F1 Eagles too. While they are great tires, they are also a bit on the soft side. I think I got less than 30k before changing them. But that is just the way it goes with the rubber compound in real performance tires.
