Default Thinking about buying Good year F1 A/S

Well, if my alignment woes continue and i have to buy new tires I have decided to go with the Goodyear F1 A/S ultra high performance tire.

Our factory specs call for 225/45-17. I notice that alot folks do not stick with the factory size. Why is this? I want to have a local shop order these tires and i want to be sure i order the right set.

hmm... i didn't know this. I thought by you saying A/S you just wanted an all season tire, but i guess there is an actual F1 All Season and a F1 A/S... The reviews of the All Season look pretty good. As far as tire size, most people want more performance out of their tire. Wider = more contact patch = more area for grip. shorter sidewall = less flex = better turn -in.
