Goodyear is changing the look and performance of the F1 line! Look............

I work for Goodyear and had this juicy tidbit of info. on the new F1's I thought Id share with ya'll. I couldnt get pics of the actual tire, but I did manage to snap some of the news letter we received today. The pics arent very good, but you'll get an idea what the new F1's will look like. They will be available mid October!

Those look BAD A$$. Will it be the same or a lot more in price than the current F1s?? Is the tread life suppose to be the same, longer or shorter than the current F1s?? I am sure everyone would like to know the scoop on the prices.

Later

We didnt receive any technical info. on them, just what you see written in the news letter. I would assume prices to be a little higher when these are first introduced. But look at the bright side, maybe we can get a better deal now on the current design! Ill keep everyone posted if I find out any more info. on them!

existing F1's ???

Crap..I hope it doesn't degrade it's rain performance just so it can "look cool" . (When you you actually 'check out' the tread pattern on a vehicle to see how good it looks anyway?)

Edit: Just strained my eyes to read the article..looks like it is supposed to do well in the wet. As long as performance is not hindered for appearance sake (wet or dry) then I am all for it!
