I've never been a fan of Goodyears. Decent price though. IIRC they have really stiff sidewall compared to most other tires.

You won't!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

As long as I am in this thread, I should mention I have used eagle f-1's in the past. They even had a similar tread design. I was disappointed with how not sticky they were.

Just an FYI.

Finnaly found some tires that will be able to handle all that power that stock focus produces and the aggresive driving you were telling us in the other thread.

Your car warrants tread life, not grip.

I had those tires on my last car. At under $100 they are a good deal. They weren;t sticky enough to warrant spending over $100 for me. They are incredibly soft too. They wear fast, but aren't as sticky as you would expect. I would pick up another set if they were cheap, but that is about it.

VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY LOUD! They came on my gf's dad's Jetta GLI and OMG they sucked. He finally invested in some Michelin Pilot Sport's and it was like night and day.

Just a suggestion, but if you want some loud fast wearing tires. Buy the Goodyears.
