I have them on my stock 17" rims. just put them on last week. they are quiet, have great grip and the stiff sidewalls mean excellent turn in and response.

I bought them from NTB (special order and reduced to beat the Tire Rack price). The only problem is that at speeds over 60, there is a lot of vibration transmitted through the entire car. I've taken it back to NTB to have all 4 rebalanced. The vibration got better but still persists.

NTB is replacing all 4 with another set of the same Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3. If that doesn't work, they will change out to a michelin PS2. I hope it doesn't come to that. I want to keep the F1's if possible.

Hope that helps.
