I had the P6000's and there were amazing in the dry but not as good in the wet...dunno about the P9000's though...

Never heard a bad name said about the F1's

Why dunlops Rob (marriot)? Never heard anything bad about the Goodyears, just wondering why you said Dunlops?

lots of big mileage customers dont seem to get as many miles from the goodyears as the dunlops, and a lot of people dont like the way they perform

dont really get manufacturing complaints from high end tyres

anyway IMO, conti sport contact 2/ 3s are better than them all

I loved the SP9000's on the SRI although the fronts worn quickly. Still have about 4mm on the rear from 2 years. Think the fronts lasted 11,000 miles ish

I had a similar thread earlier on tonight: http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=277482
It's a draw between the 2 at the moment and unless it changes by morning then I think I'll be ordering 4x Eagle F1's tomorrow

Looks like no tyres are just as popular as Dunlops or Goodyears.

i prefer uniroyal rainsports to the goodyears, lasted longer, much better in the wet, more comfortable as well.
