I ran F1 A/S's. They were heads about the stockers. But after about 10,000 miles the F1s started to lose quite a bit of their advantage in wet weather.

Honestly I haven't had any interior noise due to the tire(radio is always turned up),and so far from a dig they grib really well.I've only lite them up once,and I know once I've drop the pressure they for sure get a better launch...

I bought Eagle F1 A/S last fall... biggest mistake ever! At first they were great, especially pulling in snow but over the spring and summer this year they started sounded like I was running knobby mud tires. The noise is deafening and now one tire even has a bulge on the sidewall. I'm going to back to Discount Tire to see what Good Year is willing to do about it. Wish me luck.

I ran mine Eagle F1 A/S for 30,000 miles - they're close to the wear bars showing.

Been a great handling tire w/o a flat, but they mine are very noisy, especially on some asphalt roads and parking lots.

Replacing them with Michelins.

i have the a/s f1 goodyears, and the noise from them is so bad, it sounds like iam on a mudding tire, with spikes in them, no matter what speed i go no matter tire pressure, but i will say strong like bull!!! i hit a pot hole by accident and i thought for sure it bubbled, nothing happened, awesome traction in the rain, snow is ok, on dry again awesome tires

now my tires are17 months old, the fronts are at the wear bars, the rears are just fine, but cupped bad, im on my 3 wheel alignment 3 wheel balancing, and i have to replace the front tires only after 17 months on the car

and for 200 a tire i dont know if i want to replace them with the same tire, but i dont like having mismatched tires either, and becasue us gxp guys cant rotate tires are we doomed to buy tires every year??, if so i add one more complaint about this car

That about sums up most of the Tirerack reviews I read about them last year when I considered getting a set. Good tire when new. Wears out very quickly, especially considering the wear rating. I am going with the Michelins when my current set of RSA's are done in 20k miles

UPDATE: Good Year is going to refund me 100% purchase price due to F1 A/S noise & cupping issues, on tires I bought almost a year ago. I'm a happy Discount Tire customer and I applaud Good Year for doing the right thing too. I'm having the Eagle GT all seasons installed this weekend.
