If these are the F1 Asymetrical tires..
I can say that after running them for 3 years they are very close to the equivalent of the PS2 tire for:
-Ride quality
-Dry/wet weather traction (actually better than the PS2-amazing in the wet at full tread)
-Noise levels
-Tread life (15K on rears, 20k+ on fronts)
The only downside I can think of is that they will flat spot if you don;t drive them for a few days, but that will clear up as they warm up.
Having said all that, I thought it my understanding they were being replaced with a newer version --with I think a slightly different designation-- which was reportedly on the same level as the new Michelin SS.
