Yes 5 months have come and gone and so have my tires. As Dr. Bones would say "There dead Jim !" My Michelin Pilot Sport 205/50-17s have been on the tire wear indicators for a week now (32000km). Loved the Pilot Sport but I'm looking for something that will wear a little better at least until rain season (which start in Nov-Dec). The Pilots have also been giving me alot of road noise as of late.

Checked around and due to $$$$ will be going up to 225/45 (they are actually cheaper than the 205/50). Since where in the summer a good wearing tire would be nice. Recommendations so far have been:

Michelin Pilot Primacy
Goodyear EAGLE F1
Pirelli P-Zero Rosso
Pirelli P-Zero Nero
Bridgestone S-03

I will not vote, because I haven't drive all of them, but they say that Bridgestone Potenza the new model 3 are the best there is. We'll I haven't been able to test them jet so I can't really tell.

A motoring magazine in the UK called Evo did a tyre test in the June issue. They prefered the Goodyear.

It seems most like the goodyear F1. The only reasons I have the others up is because as they say on ther sites (better wearing tire). Even if they are better wearing I still dought they'll do over 40000-45000km. That's still better than the 32000km (and counting) from the Pilot sports.

How do the goodyear rate in wear? will they do close to 40000km?

I have just put Goodyear Eagle F1's on my V5, they seem pretty good so far, but they only went on at the weekend so I haven't had enough time to get a full impression on them.

Everyone has voted Goodyear Eagle F1 so far!

Just want to reminder voters:

Looking for good mileage....I wish I could find a tire this size that
would do 70000KM like the michelin energy
on Mom's Corsa!
I live in Portugal so no mater how durable the tires are, they won't make it to the really rainy winter months (starting November).
