Continental vs Goodyear F1 All Seasons

[MikeMT]

I'm going to switch to all season tires in a few weeks and am looking at my options. Many of you have had good things to say about the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS's, and I had them on a Miata years ago and liked them.

Anyone have experience with the new Goodyear Eagle F1 All Seasons? Tire Rack has them listed as of late, but not as many reviews yet.

Leaning towards the Contis, but was curious about the Goodyears before I pulled the trigger.

And finally, should I assume that going to a local tire shop is preferable to Tire Rack's mobile service? I did the mobile service on my Miata and it went great, but I'm a little nervous about trying it with the Emira.

Tire Rack did a video comparison of the Michelins, Contis, The Eagle F1 alls-season, Bridgestones, and the Goodyear EV all-season. I was leaning towards the F1's since I have the same Summer on the car already and like them, but they actually ended up rating the F1 a/s tops over the others. Worth the 16' video to get some ideas about how they all performed (albeit was on a bow 3 series).
