Absolutely superb in damp and wet conditions, with extreme grip in dry. They are fairly hard wearing, not too soft, yet not too hard, with very little road noise. They also look cool.
Nothing more to say.

I have been using the f1 for about 38,000 km. Treadwear is very minimal. It really gives you a sense of confidence in the rain. It is unlike any other tire ive used before in the rain. Before i used bridgestone potenza re050 it really didnt handle very well in the rain, and treadwear is pretty quick compared to the f1's. It also grips pretty well in sunny weather. I daresay this is the best tire ive used so far. I would buy them again. As i live in a climate where it rains heavily for 4 to 5 months a year. Theres no other better tire than this

Goodyear Eagle F1 types wear well and cornering traction is good, but I have experienced poor traction for both wet & dry and extremely poor traction in snow.
In my opinion traction is easy to break under hard acceleration.

Yeah tyre pressures OK. Work a touch better if kept @ higher PSI recommended for fully loaded car even when not fully loaded. Previous tyres were Mich Pilot Sport - much better all round. Worked really well in snow. Trouble with F1s is you MUST change the tyres for snow. It's like buying tyre's you must change for rain, it would be a non starter. I didn't pick these - tyre spot recommended them. If I knew it meant garaging the car for snow I wouldn't have bought them & I certainly wouldn't buy them again. Have just changed to F1 Assymetrics as they have been tested for my model of car & stated as good

As far as wet & dry traction; Check your air pressure. Is at the car manf. suggested PSI? It should be.(never what is on the sidewall of the tire)<br/><br/>In the snow: This tire is an Ultra High Performance tire, it was NEVER intended for the snow.
