Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season's?
Anyone tried these newer Ultra High Performance All Season tires? I have an 07 C230 and the rear Michelin Pilot Primacy's are just about shot and I am looking for a good replacement.
I live in the Pacific NW and drive the car all year round, and am looking for the best tire for all the seasons here. If it snows, or has any chance of snow, the car will stay in the garage, so I don't need snow or ice traction. But, the temps in the winter time range from 20-50 degrees, so I am nervous about running a full summer tire, like the Michelin PS2's (Which would be my 1st choice).
My preferences for a tire range like this:
1)Wet performance
2)Quiet ride
3)Dry performance
4)Price
Based on those preferences the Goodyear F1 A/S look like a good choice.
What do you guys think?

I have the PS2s ... love them .. but!! do not get caught in the snow... they are beyond useless (and I have a 4 matic)
I had gotten excited and put them on my car early last spring.. we had a late dusting to snow... couldn't get the car out of a parking spot on the street! all 4 wheels spun like ice donuts.
as far as all other aspects of driving.. they are awesome.. but be sure to buy the insurance from tire rack if you are using lowprofile... they have soft sidewalls..
