Yeah, OK...
The plus points:
- Much less road noise
- Better grip - more so on uneven surfaces or where you get a surface camber or road join (rubber ridge)
- Much improved feel in the wet
- MUCH smoother ride
The negative points:
- You can feel the tire wall flex under heavy load when cornering or hard accelaration out of a junction - used to it now though, you get no less grip you just feel the rear end step out everso slightly when you boot it. I am running circa 340BHP map though..
- You loose a 'little' bit of the steering directness (again due to slight tyre wall give)
Summary - If I was haulin arse round the Ring in the dry all day I'd stick with the RFT's to be honest (for the feel) on the near perfect surface - for every other eventuality I'd go for the Eagle F1's any day. They just handle our roads better.
Hope that helps you out..
