Right pull finally corrected: Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season

I am very excited. I just purchased Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season tires (225/45-17 and 245/40-17) for my 2004 CLK 320. These tires are absolutely perfect. I have 37,000 miles on this vehicle and have had a constant right pull since day one. Have attempted to correct this via numerous alignments and tire changes (Michelin Pilot Sport PS2, Michelin Pilot Sport, Continental Conti Sport) in the past.

I now have no right pull, the tires are incredibly quiet, I love the tire profile and tread pattern, with a very high tread wear rating. Also a very good price point. Right pull has been a constant complaint for some posters. I am not a very aggressive driver so it is possible that this tire design is such that it has traded off a little bit of performance for quietness and less sensitivity to road grading that could lead to right pulling.

Is anyone else using these tires and what has been your experience?

I live in Central Florida and will most likely never drive these tires in the snow. However, Tire Rack reviews and surveys give high snow ratings.

Be careful about judging the quietness of tires within first 3000 miles or so.

Virtually all non-winter tires are nearly silent on day one. It's day 365 that matters. Usually noisy tires start getting noise only about 25% through their tread life, so you will be living with noisy tires for the other 75% of the life.

I have Conti's, and their full life span noise has been great.

So have I, as factory fitted. With your experience, how many miles should I expect to get from them with a moderate driving style?

I also just switched to the f1 all season and love them. Seem to be the perfect balance between noise, tire life, and grip.

moondust: with my short commute I had before, it was mostly stop and go, and I think I was looking at 10K life for those tires, so not so good.

I can probably double that with my new highway commute.
