Replacement tires for Goodyear F1

[VABeachSHO]

I use my 2012 SHO for company business and have logged 21,000 miles in 7 months. The OEM Goodyear F1 accumulated 6 nails/screws in that time. So I am looking for a tire that is more resilient to punchers and longer wearing. I'm not ripping around corners so ultimate stickness isn't important.

I ordered the Michelin Primacy MXV4 only to find they are nationally back ordered. No stock anywhere near Virginia. My tire dealer talked me into the Nitto Motivos which were installed last night. On driving home, I found the ride very bouncy compared to the Goodyear F1. Is this simply a function of the harder rubber that allows for the 60,000 mile warranty on the tire? Or did I make a mistake not hanging out for the Primacy?

I have 30 days in which to keep or return these Nittos. I'll keep them if the Michelins would be no better but I hoping for some feed back. What has been your experience with the Michelin Primacy as a replacement for the F1.

May want to avoid Michelins for now?

Here are some options from TireRack.com:

The F1s are super stiff.

I am running Michelin Pilot Super Sports (summer only tire) on my Flex. They are the best handling tire I have ever had, + ride good. Previously had Conti DW's which I also liked, but they weren't as crisp as Michelins on handling. These tires make the Flex feel like it handles better than my G8's with the Stock Bridgestone Potenza 050A's. (Know it really can't due to its size and weight).

I'm waiting for those Super Sports to be available for my V's sizes. I loved my PS2s and the PSSs are better in every measurable way with a mileage guarantee. For less than the PS2s. Incredible! I haven't found anyone running them who doesn't give them rave reviews...

I'm not a tire expert, but I am satisfied with the Nitto Motivos after a 100 miles. They feel the same as the Goodyear Eagles F1 in terms of noise, and straight line performance. I can't speak to cornering but I am comfortable with the ride.

I have a 2013 with PP.

I'm looking into the Cooper Zeon RS3/A - all season tire ranked really high on consumer reports and consumer digest.

And they're like 700 for the set.

245/45R20
500 AA A

They're supposed to have great dry traction but also do great in wet and decent in snow.

Plus Cooper is an American Tire company which makes me feel better.
