Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 215/35 R17 Ford Focus 15 miles September 5, 2008
Excellent Wet Grip, average dry grip; however difference between two is smaller than most tires. Wear rate was only average (~10k on the front, 20k on the back)
Biggest issue has been the number of 'failures' we have had on my wifes focus. Had to replace a total of 5 tires early (well before the wear bar) over the past 4 years. 3 with enormous (multiple) bluges appearing in the side wall & 2 with extremly uneven wear with huge flat spots accompanied by a dramatic increase in road noise. These are characteristics I have never seen on other tires. Scary stuff & in hindsight would not go near them, or other goodyears again.
