only people still recommending Eagle F1s based on perfromance are those who have not switched to Michelin Supersports

Supersports all day long in wet or dry

really..? Might have to try the supersports next year then!

Have run both with no noticeable difference. I do on average 25K a year, mainly motorway miles and don't like to hang around :)

Just ordered Conti for the front as vw has picked up on the tread twice now between 2-3 mm so may as well get them done.

Worst tyres I've had on any car. Wear rate is horrific, harsh ride, never felt safe at all. Wintercontacts are superb though  :shocked:
