Summer or All Season Tires and your recommendations...

UHP summer tires in snow and ice makes for some real asshole puckering. Glad I live in good ol Texas. Don't see the stuff but a couple times per year.

Just out of curiosity, what did you guys get out of the OE Goodyears? I'm at nearly 20K and still have a decent amount of tread remainig. Not bad for their horrendous tread wear rating. Guess I'm not driving aggressively enough. Lol
Needless to say, still keeping an eye out here, for when the time comes.
 
Aside from getting little greasy on track days, I am impressed with the Goodyear F1, so since I have winter wheel/tire. I replaced mine after 15K with the same tire due to price.  I may one day switch the Michelin version, but price was the main driver. 
 
My GY SuperCars have 14K on them and the wear bars are approaching fast.  I'm going to get one more summer out of them and replace them in 2016.  I also switch between winter and summer wheels/tires.

I'll probably go with them again if they remain the cheapest option.  With only running them 6-8 onths out of the year, I can get three summers out of them.

My OE Goodyears saw close 25k, which I suppose isn't too bad, but once that tread started to go, it was gone in a hurry. They got the job done, but are not the cheapest Summer tire option out there.

I had the original Goodyear f1's which lasted me about 15k and overall a great tire,just wish they lasted longer(my fault)next tires on my wishlist are the Hankook V-12 which are a great summer tire and probably will outlast the Goodyears.  http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hankook&tireModel=Ventus+V12+evo2&partnum=445YR0K120XL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Ford&autoYear=2013&autoModel=Taurus&autoModClar=SHO

I actually decided to go with these. the Evo2's have gotten a lot of positive reviews, so that plus their already fair price and a $80 rebate offer they just started I had to give them a shot. I should be getting them put on sometime this week and looking forward to it. Sloppin' around in my Blizzaks on 18"s is fine when there IS snow, but I am overdue for some curve hugging.

Getch those Hankooks V12-EVO2 are some great high performance summer tires for the money,excellent grip and should outlast the F1'S,best of luck and keep us updated on how well they perform.Z
 
Good tire choice.  I have had great success with the first generation V12s on my Audi S4 and think you will enjoy them on your SHO.
 
ive got 10k logged on nitto motivos 255/45, rides good, handled the recent ice/snow here in north tx really well (i was doing like 50 on the way to work at 4am before they even cleared the roads) and dropping pressure to 28psi i can hook and get 1.7x-1.8x 60fts all day. Oh and the tread is still great, i blew through the GYf1's by 14k if that gives you any impression on my driving.

Some hate em, but im in the Nitto camp for now
