Need to be careful drawing conclusions from that UK tyre review site
Read some of the actual reviews from contributors, many are seriously flawed
The statistics they produce from small samples are nearly worthless
Statistics from large samples are a half decent general guide
For example, the PS3 is comfort rated at 85% and the Eagle F1 at 92%
I've had both on the front of my Skoda Octavia (similar to Golf MK5/6 front end)
I would reverse those ratings in heartbeat - the Eagle F1 makes a fair bit more road noise
The PS3 is also wear rated at only 76% which is way off the mark in my view (too many reviewers using them on track days?)
At the end of the day, $ per km with safety and fun
I have to agree with RubAVeeDubDub - F1's are very hard to beat (at present)
