My last car used to break traction up to 100km when I came on boost. 225/45/16 they were, 175/65/14 retreads gripped better Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/30150-good-year-f1-tires/#findComment-462920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice and quiet too. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/30150-good-year-f1-tires/#findComment-464140 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't pushed them hard yet but very happy so far. They steer more precisely than the Dunlop's. With the wet season coming up, I'll know soon what they're like with some rain about. The tyre dealer did recommend them for wet weather grip.Interesting that the Michelin agent said Mich Preceda's let go in the wet and said BF Goodrich are much better Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/30150-good-year-f1-tires/#findComment-464209 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee. never heard of that Either way, I went for the Goodyears instead and glad I paid a couple of bucks more for peace of mind. Hate that skating off the road feeling when it rains!!

Brilliant tyres in the wet. Not too bad on road noise either. Cost me $240 each (New Zealand $) which included fitting, balancing and a full wheel alignment (all 4 wheels).cheers, Dean Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/30150-good-year-f1-tires/#findComment-466724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
