Has anyone put the Eagle F1 tires on C5 thin spokes? I have Goodyear Eagle F1 EMTs on my car that need to be replaced. I have tried the Michelin Pilots but I don’t like he way the sidewall looks compared to the factory EMTs, I would like to rt the new F1s but want to see what it looks like before I buy them.

C5 owners are a different breed, aren't they?

I believe that's the first time I've ever heard someone prefer the looks of an EMT over a dedicated summer/warm weather tire, let alone that being the focal point of buying tires...Learn something new everyday. Living in NJ, I can understand why you would prefer the benefits of an EMT. The roads are no picnic...
