I have Goodyear F1 tires on MR rims-from TireRack. Daily drive the car, have had it in a little snow with these. They are better than the OEM ones for bad weather, but not as sticky (they will last much longer than stockl) for the dry handling. Even though they are the exact same size as stock, they are almost one inch wider-which looks good as well.
Pricewise, they are comparable to other brands. Road noise was a complaint by other people who reviewed these tires (on the TireRack site), but I haven't noticed any more or less.
I would get them again.

Do you want all seasons or summer tires? How much do you want to spend? How long do you want them to last?
