Default Got new Goodyear F1 A/S tires

I replaced my Dunlop Sports (got 26k out of them) with a set of F1 All Seasons. So far, they seem fine. Noise level is not significantly different from the stock Dunlops. Cost out the door was $826 (stock 18s). I'm told these should last longer than the Dunlops.

One issue was that America's Tire underinflated the tires (according to the sticker in the door). They put in 32psi all around while the sticker says 35/37 (front/rear) and the tires say they'll hold 42psi. My TPMS light came on the next day. One tire had only 25lbs in it. I filled all of them to the sticker levels and I'm going to watch that one as it may be leaking slowly. I did a soapy water test around the valve and nothing there. So, time will tell.

I just put F1's on my 350 also, tirerack reviews didn't have a lot of good things to say about these tires after 10K miles.

Yeah. Now I see that. I thought I checked the tirerack reviews. The America's Tire (Discount Tire, etc.) site (where I bought them) has mostly positive reviews from everyone on this tire (4.5 stars out of 5). That will suck if they get really noisy. I guess time will tell. Maybe I should get the camber checked/adjusted to minimize the outside edge wear that my old tires showed.

my wife has a set on her TL right now and they are extremely loud at 60-65% wear. I was actually at discount tire yesterday to get a quote to replace them. I drove her car on a business trip recently and DAMN the tire were out of control. I am wondering if I am just used to the slience the interior of my GS provides relatve. If they get loud take them back

i got 25K out of my stock Dunlops too. It is a good tire.
F1 GS-D3 have been good to me for 13k miles now. These tires seem to have an overall stronger construction.

I put 25k on my F1 Eagle A/S. They started sucking at 7k. really loud... rumbling during acceleration and stopping. if you have 30 day ride warranty... try and go get them swapped for something else.

good luck.

I am starting to hear a lot of good things about the Goodyear F1 A/S and the Michellin Pilots. I hope more members post their snow stroies as I am debating on some A/S tires shortly. I live in a good old snow belt state.
