Now F1's are end of life, and I'm not convinced by the replacement, What the best choice now?
Tyre life isn't that important as I only do a couple of thousand miles each year, tyre noise isn't much of a concern either but both dry and wet weather grip is top concern.
Recommendations please

My vote goes to the Federal SuperSteel 595. Good grip and life. Surprised no one else on here use them.

Im trying Dunlop SP9000 since having my alloys refurbed and so far so good - not much road noise, grip in the dry seems good (yet to test them in the wet) - Paid £300 for 4, valves, balancing etc...

My Falkens are about 1/2 worn after 6000 miles. Compared to the Eagle F1 GSD3's they wear very well IMO. The differenece in grip is not really noticeable either.
