I know this has been rehashed on every web site but lets do it again for me.
I need to put new tires on my M Roadster. I drive it as a daily driver. Since I live in New Orleans it really is mostly summer driving and a lot of wet days.
I am thinking between the Eagle F1 and the Michelin PS2.
Or the ContiSportContact 2
What do you think about these three or another that you like better.

Re: I need new tires
Mark I had the PS2's for my second set and they where great. I just bought Falkin 452. As you know in June they did ok but not the PS2's. Vicke and I said something about the new tires but can't say exactly what it is. They are not the PS2's. The Falkins are about $100 cheaper. They held the corners in the mountains just fine. If you don't get new ones by HC take mine out for drive and see what you think.
If I haft to get new tires again I will go back to the PS2's

Re: I need new tires
Might want to specify whether it's the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 (which is discontinued), or Eagle F1 Asymmetric (came out not long ago; supposed to be superior to the PS2's but are heavier), or Eagle F1 all-season.

Re: I need new tires
I've run:
OEM Contis - Sit in my garage, trying to sell them about 1000mi on them. Not a fan of them.
Advan Neova's - Currently on there, amazing tire, its as stiff as a runflat though, but oh so sticky, great in the rain, treadwear is not bad, ive put 24k on my and i still have about 5k left.
Potenza RE01PP - For general use id say better than the Neovas, less tire roar, even better in the wet. This is my winter tire for NJ, never had any issues. Although it is listed as extreme performance it is an all season M+S tire.

Re: I need new tires
I'm looking at the Yokohama S.drive in the below sizes on my OE wheels - price/performance it was the best I came up with. Wanted Bridgestone RE-01R's - got too expensive over the past year. Will likely wait until next spring now, so I'll see what's available then.
