I ran ER300's on my FG2 several years ago, and agree they were pretty good.
I actually looked for them again recently for the Mondeo, but they don't make a 235/45/18.
Ended up buying the Goodyear Eagle F1 Sport, and am stoked I did. They are a level above the ER300's. Hard to fault other than noise on rough roads.
They were outside of the company budget, so paid for one myself, and threw the other three on the company CC. No regrets, especially when driving in the conditions we're seeing in Brisbane today.
They are rotated FOC by Goodyear Sumner Park every 10,000. Have travelled 35,000 on them now and (honestly), they still look close to new. I'm thinking 45-50 on these, which would be a great result. The OE Conti's were replaced at 37.
