F1 Assy or Contact Sport 3

Just a quicky

Which do you prefer? Comments on grip/wear rate/handling etc would be nice too

I have the Goodyears, I have no complaints. People have said they are a bit nosier but I haven't noticed anything. Grip is great and I like the looks. Only complaint is that they seem to 'flat' spot more than other tires I have had. I don't drive the car everyday and if it's been sitting there for awhile the tires seem to get one, but driving a few kms and they go away.

Do a search for my write up. Best tire I've ever owned are the GY F1 Asymmetrics.

thread looks better and handles pretty well... but never tried the F1 Assy

Also never been on either tire but from what I've read the F1 Asymmetries get the nod. If you are looking for a solid daily driver tire I suggest you take a look at the Conti DWS.

Go with the F1's. You will not be disappointed, a great overall performer. Tire grips well in dry and equally in wet conditions. Noise is low at highway speed IMO, and the tread wear is acceptable for a performance tire. I drive the car daily, and like to drive spiritedly.. this tire is the perfect balance of comfort/driveablity and performance.

I had Conti 2's on my Audi and they were medicare at best.

Conti's are for saving money.
