Mercedes Benz 280 SL convertible Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric given 87% (245-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
Had the F1s fitted to my SL, 3 years ago, replacing the rubbish Continentals .. To say my car was transformed, is an understatement, just reversing it off the ramps, I could feel the difference .. Take my word for it, these F1s are Awesome .. Dry handling, ride comfort and feedback are all outstanding, but where this tire comes into it's own, is in the wet (very useful in the U.K.) There seems to be no limit to it's grip and stopping power .. I must agree though, with a previous poster, that after standing overnight, these tires do need 3 or 4 miles to warm up and even out, and you do notice it .. So far, I have covered 20,000 miles mixed driving with them and there is around 4 or 5 thousand miles left in them, with no apparent deterioration .. Would I buy these tires again ? .. Is the Pope, catholic ?
