Default tire choices

as i posted before, need a set of new tires. i have narrowed it down to the eagle f1s and the michelin ps2s. anyone have thoughts and/or suggestions on how to decide between the two. good experiences, bad experiences soliciting all knowledge. TIA

I think the general consensus is the PS2 are better, but not worth the extra cost over F1s

Default I've had both and actually prefer the PS2's... slightly better in the wet plus they lasted

forever. I actually had the Pilot Sports on the 337 for over 40k, just replaced them last month with the PS2's. My old GTi had the F1's on it The F1'S though were equally as good in dry weather tire, just had some issues with the wet weather grip, espesially deep puddles but I guess that's to be expected with a tire with such an aggresive tread pattern. My brother has the wheels now and I believe has 15-20k or so on them with decent meat still left.
