Which Eagle F1 do you have?  Can you tell us more about the seperation failure?  I'm think of getting the F1 GS-D3 soon and would like to know as much about it as possible, thanks!

No, but the Falken 512 is a all-season performance, I don't think you'll be happy with them if you come from the F1's.  The GRB-451 would be a much better choice, I know someone who has them on his S4 in stock size and likes them, good dollar to performance ratio.

Not sure about Fuzion tires, haven't heard much about them.

Sure you can, but it just so happens that most high performance tires are directional in design, and for a good reason.
