Yep Goodyear have finally discontinued the older F1's, although I'd guess they'll be available for a while yet until the stock dries up.

pirelli over priced not brilliant
continental very good but wear fairly quickly
michelin very good last for ever but you will pay for it!
bridgestone good grip fairly quick wear
firestone appaling deathtrap tyre wouldnt even fit to a trailer ;0)
avon cheapish but crap
falken 452 cheap very grippy and reasonable wear (this is what i use)

i guess it comes down to how much your willing to pay and how often you want to have to change them

money no object michelin
reasonable money and lifespan continental
cheaper but still excellent falken

also depends on what size tyre your going for in 205/55/16 contis are only £10 more than falkens but in 205/40/17 they are twice the price!
michelin are usually the most expensive in any tyre size.

recently fited a set of falken 452,s due the numerous good reports must say they really are excellent tyres
