Reviews mean sod all unless its on a like for like basis ... i.e. same car we drive as tyre performance can differ massively.
Having had Asymmetric's (1) the Evo V12's on the LC give much more confidence and feedback.

I dont think the F1 are a bad choice. Also the user reviews sound good. Purely based on tyrereviews.co.uk I would personally choose the F1.
[edit]
MR OCD is right, the user reviews are based on lots of different cars, we alle drive the same car here more or less. Only our driving styles differ

How are the Hankooks in the wet compared the the GoodYears?
Also did you have the Asymmetric 1's or 2's?

The reviews on the Asymmetric 1's aren't as good as the 2's by a long shot:
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric
Never used the Assy's i used the F1's
All i know is i can really push my car wet or dry to the point the epc light had a fit the other day to back me off

The asymmetrics are supposed to be better than the old directional F1's. I just don't want to spend over £500 and be stuck with tyres i don't like, lol
im not sure of the price, but you can do a seach on them where you buy your tyres.
i have continental sportcontact 5 (225/40-18) on my leon, and would recommend them to all who ask. befor i have been running Continental sportcontact 2 some years, i know the sportcontact 3 is not the best they made, i would choose the sportcontact 2 or the new sportcontact 5, i would not recommend the sportcontact 3.
also the sportcontact 5 you can get in the 2 versions, the sportcontact 5 and the sportcontact 5P.
5P is for more grip but dont last as long as the normal 5.

This.
Well, mine were SP9000s actually, but I think they've stopped doing these now
Never had any grip/handling issues and they last forever
I bought my LC with bridgestones all round, then changed my wheels and tyres to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2s and all I can say is they crap on all my previous tyres from a great height, even in the wet up here in sunny manchester they inspire so much confidence chucking it around corners but thats me being biased. The best thing you could probably do is find 2 members near to you that are running the tyres you want and ask to pilot their cars to get a feel for them, but then every cars not set up the same is it
... I'll get mi coat.
... I'll get mi coat.As i stay in Scotland and you shouldn't use in snow or ice,think i'd pass,unless i only used them half the year
Done 20,000 miles on my cheap lowest of low budget tyres and they're still going strong, correct even wear, loads of grip in the wet and dry, even in the snow hee hee.
I understand why peeps go for all the well known brands but nearly all bigtime manufacturers have a sidekick budget tyre, made at the same factory and will work well within the driving skills of regular road users and i spent 10 years on the track on bikes and cars.
In the end its a personal choice and how confident the tyres you choose make you feel.

Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas, very grippy in dry and wet, also very quiet ride.

Totally agree, had mine on for few hundred miles now and the grip in wet is awesome
