The Eagle F1 are good. Similar to Conti.

When I had my mk6 GTD, I replaced the Bridgestones with Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 2's. IMO they were quieter and had better grip than the Bridgestones. I sold the car before the F1's wore out but I don't think they were as hard wearing as the Bridgestones so wouldn't have lasted as long, but that's the trade off for better grip.
