Hey khooger, I see you have the Goodyear F1's. How long have you had them? I've had them on my 545i for 15k. They were great the first 8-10k but then the cupping began and the tire noise. It cups pretty bad. I even had then dismount rotated, didn't help. I have about 1/3 thread left. Sorry to say I can't wait to get rid of them. This is coming from Dumplops. The upside is they grip like mad! Especially in the wet!

Sessanta has got great reviews and it is bi-directional, so you can swap them anyhow you like. Also they are wider than the competition. My Ultracs again are great tires but they are directional. So far 20K km of spirited driving with them and the rear tires are looking like they will last till 40-50K km easily.


Sessanta

My bad, they look like the F1's. The treads look very similar from the picture but having a closer look they are very different.

Looks great....now you just need to lower it!

Hey, Post #27 and nobody had said that yet -- I think it may be a record.
