Default GT HPZ vs Eagle F1 vs Dunlop SP Sport 9000

ok anyone tried any of the following?

the HPZes are 65, the F1s are 98, the Dunlops are 116

so my wallet is crying out for the HPZs

i've heard good things about the eagle F1s, do we all think its worth spending the extra money and going for these?

these are for 2 FRONT tyres on a RWD car by the way, i've got Proxes T1-S on the back. and anytihng will be better than what i've currently got as theyre WANK tyres on there at the moment.

i'm after some all weather tyres as the car gets driven rain or shine, i'd happily compromise dry weather traction if they perform good in the wet

just noticed, i can get the F1s and the SP9000s for the same price....

i dont want to automatically assume the 9000s are better just coz they got a higher RSP tho...

they dont have any and cant get hold of any either

also thats quite a lot of money for 2 proxies...

the F1s and 9000s are both circa 200quid for a pair (fitted etc.) theres a Ł2 difference in the price... lol (15% discount on the 9000s)

also, i have my own valves to be fitted, so could save a few quid that way too
