I have always found the F1s very bad in the dry or in snow...not bad in the wet, but not a patch on the Bridgestone SOs. My brother (who has a P1) swears by the Kumhos.

My Foz is not really a normal one, so probably can't go off road as well as Mark's, as I think some of that is sacrificed for speed:-)
