Default I need a good all season performance tire

So my back two tires need to be replaced....

I have Goodyear eagle f1's on all four, but they discontinued them, plus they were awful in anything but dry weather, so im looking for a good all season performance tire to put in the back..any suggestions?

This is best over in the Tires and Wheels section and hopefully a mod will move it there. The reason being, that Luke of Tire Rack and Stoenr have more info on such tires than I do and are both there often.

When you are driving around in your car, four things greatly impact your safety, your tires. And, unless you are lucky enough to live in the tropics, it's pretty likely that the seasons change where you're driving, bringing with them a shift in driving conditions. By purchasing a good set of all season tires you can avoid accidents and even save your own life! Good all season tires kept in good repair will keep your car hugging those curves and stopping on a dime, so it is of utmost importance that you acquire a set and maintain them properly.To maintain your tires properly, you need to do more than simply replace them as their treads begin to wear down. Tire maintenance requires more than this of you, but nothing that is too strenuous once you understand what needs to be done. You have to rotate your all season tires as often as needed, so that the tires do not wear unevenly and maintain enough traction to ensure a sage ride. You should also drive in a way that does not damage your tires. That means, don't drive too quickly on dirt or gravel roads, try not to run into curbs and sidewalks, and not taking turns too quickly. Turning too quickly is one of the things that wear out all season tires more than anything else, except perhaps skidding to a stop by applying the brakes too abruptly.

Which F1 were you running? There are a few models.
Tire racks rating and review system is pretty informative
Still on the stock size 245/45/17 ?
