Default Goodyears?

I am looking into a replacement set of tires for MY01 S2000 . I am running Pilot PS2s right now in a 225/40ZR18. I like the Michelins fo low road noise , one of the reasons I wnet with them . Of course they are also excellent tires . I was wondering if anyone has any feed back on the Goodyear F1 Asymetrics?? They seem to have a little bit of an advantage in holding up to higher G forces and if they really are comperable to the Michelins in road niose . I am wondering the life of the tires and general thoughts . FYI my S2000 is basically stock with an AEM V2 cold air intake , Megen Test Pipe and 18" wheels , same size all 4 corners I have about 13000 miles on my tires now with a 220 treadwear

The Michelin PS2's are superior to the Goodyear F1's and that is why they cost more. But I would say the F1's are an excellent tire for the price.

If you're hitting twisty roads all the time, then pay extra for the PS2's again. If you're just cruising around town with the occasional twisty, then save a few bucks on the F1's.

I think the F1's are the best rain tire I've ever been on too.
