    I need new shoes! She's a US '84QV with the 16" rims.
    I've looked through a lot of the archives.
    Tirerack.com has lots of info, and has all sorts of ratings. Do you find this info helpful?
    I've narrowed it down to a few (based on archives and Tirerack.com)
    Thoughts?
    #1 Goodyear Eagle F1 (seems best all around, with highest ratings in all categories, including road noise)
    #2 Fuzion ZRi
    #3 Bridgestone Pntenza SO-3
    #4 BF Goodrich g-Force

    I've been told the Khumos are good, but they seem to wear out fast and are noisy. Its a QV, and I love to have the top off, so noise is an issue -I wanna here her sing, not hum!
    thanks!

    I went with the Goodyear's at Tires are us. Quick and easy and made the mechanics day when they drove the car onto the lift.

    Doesn't anyone use Pirelli anymore? I need new tires, too, but was just going to get the same kind of Pirellis that I have now. Now everyone is saying how great the Goodyear Eagle F1s are. I don't know what to do.
