TireRack has just done a tire test matching the forum favorite PS2 against the Continental ContiSport Contact 3, Bridgestone RE050A Pole Position and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric (which is a new tire unrelated to the GS-D3 and Eagle F1). The Goodyear came out on top with the PS2 in second. Interestingly it was track use where the Goodyear was strongest. Test car was an E90 330i.

Were going to put Goodyear F1 on my 172M when i bought it new but couldn't find the size at that time What a shame!
And it's cheaper than its rivals too!!

I ran F1's on my E39 540. They are great tires, and are particularly good in wet conditions.
