Let us know how you get on with the F1s, I am P-zeros on mine and tyres were the only advisory last MOT so will need doing soon. I was looking at Sport 4S's but the price difference to the F1s is huge but the reviews online of the F1s are mixed.
So... A couple of months of using the F1 Asymetric 2 tires.

Dry grip is good, not perfect but it’s still a wide tire so the grip is «plenty» for all normal or slightly inspired driving situations. I seem to get a slight lift off oversteer though, haven’t noticed that before with the old Dunlops, so there is a noticable difference.

Wet grip, well I’m not impressed. Still plenty of grip for normal driving (not like Nankang NS-2 and other brands I tried in my youth...) but I just dont feel 100% confident in pushing through corners in the wet.

Noise levels are decent, much better than Dunlop Quattromax 255s which was my reference from this car.

Would I buy them again ? Well considering the reasonable price, they are good enough for me
