while driving a
Mercedes Benz SLK 350
(245/40 R17 W) on
a combination of roads
for 12,000
spirited miles
Bought to replace Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3s which were excellent but wore out after just 8500 miles.
The grip from these is far superior, especially in the wet, and have lasted to just over 12000 miles. I could probably get a few more miles out of them (they have 3mm tread left), but the feedback is telling me it's time to change.
These are also far, far superior to the Merc original Michelins which, while lasting 24000 miles, were a nightmare in the wet.
I can also state that I had no issues with the grip of the F1 asymmetrics in the recent snowy weather - sure they don't have much grip in snow (not many non-winter tyres do), but low revs, low speed and a little forethought saw us safely to/from work each day.
Incidentally, if you have tyre sizes which aren't readily available in winter tyres, I heartily recommend AutoSocks as an alternative option!
