But it looks like they want you to pay for the full report. The Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 was one of their recommended picks for a summer tire, but it ranked fairly far down the list.

I think the problem with their ratings on waxes is that they value durability and low effort over ultimate shine.

Is there any way you can copy and paste the results into a thread? I am about to buy tires as well and the F1s were on the top of my list.
