Just as much grip, better in the wet, and last much longer.

Less hydroplane, more traction in wet weather, equal traction in dry weather, less road noise, last longer, less "tracking", and don't throw grit/gravel like the Goodyear's.

They do pick up rocks and dirt but not as much as the goodyears. 100 times better in the rain also on the street way better traction IMO. They also look Awesome lol I paid about 350 a tire mounted and balanced

I would have expected the responses to be more like "superior dry traction" instead of the "equal dry traction" most everyone here seems to be reporting....

The F1s seem to be pretty decent tires, i guess the main complaint is that the are bad in the rain and that they tend to wear out fast (10-15k miles).

How many miles are people seeing out of the pilots?

All depends on how you drive of course. But I got 18k out of mine and the only reason I replaced them at that point is because I was going to do some hard road coarse driving and wanted fresh rubber.
