Default Tires

My 2010 GS needs new tires. It came with the Goodyear Eagle F1. The new 2011 Corvette's come with the New Goodyear Eagle F-1's... anyone have issues or comments about these new F-1's? The Corvette tech at the dealer suggested that I stay with these but also said that he could get other brands as well on a cost match program.

The Michelin product is excellent as are Bridgestone Pole Positons.
BOTH are superior to the GY ie quieter, last longer etc.
I just put a set of BS PPs on my '08 Z and couldn't possibly be happier, best of all they were several hundred dollars less than the GYs or Michelins. ~$1,600 out-the-door.
