new tires
Just swapped on a set of Eagle F1 A/S
i went a little bigger up front (235/40/18) because i read some people have tried this without problems. Once mounted I had rubbing issues against the inside plastic in the wheel well. I had to use a heat gun to push the plastic in. Rubbing has since gone away.
I drove a civic during the week my car was off the roads (due to snow) and when i drove my car with the new tires, it seemed like the steering feel was more responsive. (i do think however, this was due to the civic i was driving for the week)
Traction in the snow/ice is decent for an all season. it will be sufficient for the few days it snows throughout the year. I noticed dry traction wasn't as good as the Dunlops and the wet is about the same. I am hoping it is because the tires are new and will get stickier once broken in.
anyone else have experience with these tires?
