goodyear F1 DS-G3

I'm sure it has been discussed here, but i seem to be a little search retarded. Has anyone ever had these F1's on their EVO? and are they worth a **** on the street? i had them on a mustang beforeand it really did improve traction. Was wondering if it would do the same on the EVO!?

For some reason EVO owners dont like this tire. Many complain of softer sidewalls and such.

Put 15k on the set I ordered and they are about toast. The sidewalls are soft and not as responsive as I would like. They are a great tire in the wet though due to their design. There are better tires out there for the price.

that was my main complaint about them. the grip wasn't bad, but the steering response and cornering stability were a bit lacking in my opinion.
