Now F1's are end of life, and I'm not convinced by the replacement, What the best choice now?
Tyre life isn't that important as I only do a couple of thousand miles each year, tyre noise isn't much of a concern either but both dry and wet weather grip is top concern.
Recommendations please

Im trying Dunlop SP9000 since having my alloys refurbed and so far so good - not much road noise, grip in the dry seems good (yet to test them in the wet) - Paid £300 for 4, valves, balancing etc...

My Falkens are about 1/2 worn after 6000 miles. Compared to the Eagle F1 GSD3's they wear very well IMO. The differenece in grip is not really noticeable either.
