Absolutely, I've had to re-think roundabout-ing in the Capri Blue Focus as the tires squeal too much, LOL. At speeds that I think are comfortable, mind you, I am not a psycho driver.
I guess it's all relative, probably too used to the good life. After taking my brothers Laser for a drive, I can really appreciate the tires and suspension setups on both EUR04D and my RS2000.
To be honest, I don't plan on replacing the Eagle F1s with a tire that expensive. They are just too damned noisy and I don't need all that grip.
But I don't rate the NCT that highly, as in, I wouldn't pay money for them. I feel there are better tires out there for the value. Not saying they are so bad you'd change them immediately, but even the guys at tire joint don't like them when I was talking to them about it.
Same goes for the tires on the RS2000, great in the dry, deadly in the wet, I wouldn't let anyone drive the car that I didn't feel was used to looking out the side windows in the wet.
It all depends on your application.
