How soft are they these days?

Goodyears always used to be very grippy, but didnt last as long as other tyres.

I will be looking to another set of tyres as soon as finances allow! The Michelin Primacy's are about the worst tyre I have ever had to drive on!

Wear-rate looks really very good on my F1s with 8k miles on them. Probably another 10-12k left in them.
Maybe I just don't drive hard enough.
