The v12's did wonders for my car. 18k miles of aggressive driving and I just replaced them. Fronts are still at 50% and they all were put on at the same time.

The Hankooks V12 are a very good tire for the price, but the Goodyears are a little more reliable IMO and at that price, the better deal. However, you should compare the wear rating on both, I believe the F1s will wear out faster.

^ Which means they're both great tires and you won't go wrong with either.

I have the Hankook's on my M3 and love them! They are quieter, less harsh, and outperform my old set of Toyo T1R's. I am about to purchase some for my G within the next couple weeks. Get them you won't regret it!

I thought the Eagle F1s were just about the Gold standard? Just cost a ton? Off hand, I'd go with the Eagles unless there's a tirerack test that shows the V12 outperforming them

+1 for the v12's. drove 65+mph in an uber heavy rainstorm a week ago and had no loss in traction.
