I have the F1 and would not recommend them. they do not grip as well as i would like, all of 1st and part of 2nd gear spins the tires. they do perform well in the rain tho. my next tires are going to be the V12 or the star specs.
i'm all stock BTW.

On washed out rain weekends at the race track, those tires were amazing in the rain. Allowed me time to drive on the track, when the Hoosier R compounds kept me parked. The F1 Asymetrics are supposed to be as good in the rain as the GS-D3. I can't get the GS-D3 in the proper 18" sizes.

The Goodyears are only $150 more than the Hankooks with the $80 rebate that is offered. So a toss up on whether to try the Ventus or F1.
