I'd love to hear how they work, compared to the Hoosier and the BFG.
Obviously speed, but also drivability and life.

Seriuosly considering buying these for next year. Hoosiers are out since I want to get 3 to 4 double weekends out of a total of 6 tires cycled as evenly as possible. So my leading tire choice contenders are
GY-RS's
Kumho-710's
BFG R-1's
What does everyone think is the best option overall on a FWD ITA car.

I wouldn't say always Andy. I know when I was still running my Rabbit GTI in ITB, the GSCS were more than the Hoosiers. I also know that Hoosier has cranked up their prices over the last few years. From what I saw on the GY website, doesn't look like their pricing has changed much in that time frame.
The advantage of the goodyear is stability of speed. They will not go away like teh Ho Ho will.
The DISadvantage is life. They will NOT go 15 cycles like the HO Hos, will.
You can easily get 4 double weekends out of 4 New Hoosiers and 2 used ones
Weekend 1 - Pair 1 on the front, Used Pair (8 cycles) on the rear
Weekend 2 - Pair 1 (4 cycles) on the front (flipped), Used Pair (12 cycles) on the rear
Weekend 3 - Pair 2 on the front, Pair 1 (8 cycles) on the rear
Weekend 4 - Pair 2 (4 cycles)on the front, pair 1 (12 cycles) on the rear
That way you always have < 8 cycle tires on the front and < 16 cycles on the rear.

Does anyone know if the Goodyear Eagle RS will be available in more sizes? I'm specifically interested in 225/50-R15 or 225/45-R15.

It seems that all the tires are starting off at around 23.1 inches...darn.
