Good point, I think I will take it down.
Sorry, I think alex has raised a valid point.
PDFs gone now.

No problem, I just reposted the results. Cheers anyway!
OP - Summarised results here if you want to add them to the first post:

I tried to cover most of the key points, without reproducing any of their work.

Just heard back from lovetyres as they're usually the cheapest for F1A2s and they have them back in stock at £104.50: http://lovetyres.com/tyre/Goodyear-Eagle-F1-Asymmetric-2/225-40-18

Well its 14 months since I bought the same size for my Mondeo and it's 10% cheaper now, when does that happen these days? Can't beat a price war and makes me fret why manufactures use obscure sizes, but I guess it depends on different market priorities.

Have to say the Goodyear F1A2s feel excellent coming from my pretty worn out CS3s. Car feels very planted and good feedback.

The CS5's feel even better imho.
Can't wait to get my F1A2's fitted - after coming from worn RE050A runflats, i hope it's going to feel like i'm glued to the road.
I will miss the feedback the Bridgestones give though. In the dry, on good tarmac, they are one of the best tyres i've had.

How far did you let yours wear before changing, I was easily below 2mm and could really feel it.

I was a bit worried I should have gone for the csc5s, and am really surprised fox didn't! He's more of a conti fan than I am.
The F1A2s were cheaper and I got club card points (easily pleased - free pizza express!).

I did wonder how you'd ended up with the Goodyears, makes sense now. Would you have gone for the contis if you had the choice?

The cs5's feel slightly better in the wet, particularly when trying to put the power down or if you plant your foot mid corner, other than that both are equally matched in my view.
