I visit this BB occasionally for help and really need it now. My 97 Aero and I live in SoCal. When I bought this car in 2001 (my second 9k, btw) it had Potenzas which I found noisy. Replaced them with Firehawks which I really liked. When they wore out, I bought Eagle F1's with great anticipation, but I was disappointed. My gas mileage dropped about 10% at lower pressures (~33 psi) and the tires seemed soft on cornering. At higher pressures (~45 psi), the car rode like a buckboard and lost adhesion on uneven road surfaces.
Fortunately, tread life onthe F1's is crap, so at 30k it's time to replace 'em. So what do you guys recommend? Appreciate the help.
