Interesting...I was reading reviews on the Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval on the tirerack.com, and a lot of people who's Vette's, Mustangs, Audi's, Porsche's, etc had the GY Eagle F1 Supercar tires, or Pirelli P-Zero Nero's, switched to the Firestones. They all say that the Wide Oval blows the others away in both the dry, and especially the wet.
Myself, I won't buy anything by Goodyear or Michelin for my cars. I've had both, so has my dad, my Grandad, and some freinds of mine...they are both useless in the rain...at least from our experiences. I am looking at getting some of the Wide Ovals or Bridgestone Potenza RE750's in the spring. The Wide Ovals are $238.55 each for a 215/45 ZR17, or $231.40 each for the 205/40 ZR17. The POtenza RE 750's are $275.00 each for the 215/45 ZR 17's, and $274.95 for the 205/40 ZR 17's. The Wide Ovals are either Y or W speed rated in either size...so not bad a price each for that level of tire. I'd love the Potenza S-O3 Pole positions, but they are $353.00 each....too steep for me, considering they only last 1 season usually.
