The Goodyear Eagle F1s are one of the few tyres 'A' rated for wet roads.

I have both F1s and V12s the V12s are good but the F1s are better..

Mine are 225/35x18
I spent months looking for nearly new Falken FK452 to match my rears which have over 7mm (knackered the fronts due to poor toe angles, probably as a result of all my spring changes).

I buy a full set of Bridgestones only for 2 individual sales of Falkens to appear within 1 week, one with 7mm the other nearly 8mm.
1 has turned up and it like new, the other is currently having shipping arranged.

If all ends up good with the Falken's, I'm not sure what to do with the Bridgestones

I'm running Falkens at the moment so don't know weather to swap from P1 rims onto new rims or just buy new as so both have tyres on them as the Falkens have good grip .

Of the four you've listed, I'd definitely go with the Vredesteins. Work great in the dry and not shabby when pushed on track in the wet either!
