   Yea this is my 3rd car tire...the other two were yokahama's and the F1 is the best handling tire by far.  twice as pricey,but if it got punctured today I would get another ....

My first C/T was the Eagle F1 GS-D3 but I picked up the the 55 series profile and I felt it changed the rake angle of the front suspension enough that it made steering very heavy and it kind of wallowed in the turns at high speed... BUT, I think I have or had other suspension issues that might have contributed to the wallow feeling...

I realy loved the feeling of the tire on the slab, and the cool looking tread was nice... If it is made in a 60series profile I will probably try that on my next tire change...
