The factory Goodyear F1s on my '17GT are almost shot...probably 1/8" tread depth left. Been raining here a ton and I'm hydroplaning at anything above 45mph, so it's almost time for new tires. Looking for a summer tire. "Winter" down here isn't and the temp seldom drops below 40F.
I'm going with the stock 265/35-20 at all four corners b/c I rotate my tires and I like the factory 20" wheels.
I am looking for tires with good dry grip and good treadwear. My GT is my DD and I put about 20K miles/year on the car. I don't track the car and only occasionally engage in the stoplight drags. I do however frequently flirt with triple digits on the open interstate b/c my commute takes me there and it's (fairly) safe. ;)
Not crazy about the Goodyear F1's (I think their dry grip is sub-optimal) but I don't have any experience with other tires to compare it to. Been looking at the Nitto NT555/G2's. The fact that they are $100 cheaper than anything else sort of scares me, but I see them mentioned all the time.
Also looking at the Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Haven't read good things about Pirelli P-Zero tires on this forum, but I'm open to suggestions.
Other recommendations? I'm buying from Discount Tire, if that helps. Thanks in advance!

Very happy with the Contis so far. Much better ride than stock and really liking the Contis. Drove to work in the pouring rain, literally an inch of standing water on the highway and had zero probs at a nice, sane speed of 50mph. Even when new the Goodyear F1s would hydroplane at that speed. Now, we don't get rain like this often down here and dry grip and wear are more important to me. Time will tell.
