My OEM Bridgestone Potenza's are already wearing out at 20,000 miles. I refuse to get these tires again. Short tread life and noisy.

I have Kumho's on the E28. It's a good tire for what you pay, but they tend to get a bit noisy as well.

I would like to keep it under $200 per tire. Yoko's or Toyo's would be my first choice, but I think they're both out of my price range. However, I found some Goodyear Eagle F1's. Anyone familiar with them?

Front: 225/40-18
Rear: 255/40-18

These tend to be pretty quiet but the Potenzas on the 540i are pretty quiet. Which Potenzas do you have?

That's actually a pretty good treadlife for a performance tire.

They're not 50,000 mile touring tires on a Lincoln, you know.
