I love my Goodyear Eagle F1s!
They are the quietest, stickiest, smoothest, best-handling tires I have ever had.

I have ran Dunlop SP9000'S,< very noisy) NITTO 555'S and Current TOYO TR1'S and I must say that the TOYOS rock and they are less then the NITTO'S !! which I also like alot and by the the way TOYO and NITTO are the same manufacturer. The TOYO TR1 is a brand new very aggressive tread design and has a more rounded track better suited for bigger meats on dropped rides for less rubbing issuses,It is a *** great tire ! Best by far for the $... The Nitto has a more square track and has been around for long while and is great. You cannot go wrong with Toyo or Nitto and you will save alot of cash for other mods on your S ? If you have a High performance SL OR CL OR E55 Than the Michelin PS2 might be worth a look but you will never catch me blowing twice the amount on something that is not even close to being twice as good period. As I go to the bank

Check out the F1 tread...
These are the most agressive yet "gentle" tires I have ever owned. Worth any amount!
