A bit confused about tyres!

[CHRIS172CUP]

Ive been searching for info on the Goodyear Eagle F1s. The Contis on my cup are not far off being changed, this time all 4 which is a b**ch.

Ive seen theres lots of talk about GS-D2s and D3s. My tyre guy says D2s arent available in the 195/45/R16 size but Ive noticed people in here have them??

Ive also noticed that the D2s are no longer available, whats the score? What are best? I know the D2s look better (not that is a reason to buy) with the more slick pattern.

Any comments very welcome.

Exaltos.

What size and how much. Anyway I might have them on my 182 when I get one?!?!?!?!?!

 

[Tom]

To answer your original question D3s are a development of D2.

so d3s are better

Anyone know why Renault switched to Michelin from Continental? Have the lesser models got Michelins now too?

Some of the lesser models have always had michelins. Its weird seems a bit random as to whether you get michelins or contis.

i looked at my tires and i have 185s i think (on standard 15" dynamique wheels), woulld i be wise to keep the same tires size when i replace them or change the size? also whats the best tire for racing in dry and not really in wet, thanks everyone!

 

[RobFenn]

Well..i think theyre excellent. I dont see how extensive reviews they come 1st or 2nd (to the F1s) but at Cliosport.net theyre sh:t. Ive done 10k in mine with plenty of tread left and theyre great in the dry or rain.

As ive said before, you have to be careful with a high powered FWD, sometimes its peoples right feet which are the problem..!

Chris - i too have a filthy cup!! I have just rebooted all my tyres with Gooyear eagle F1 GSd2 s i have put on 205 tyre as it fits fine on the std Cup rim so now i have 182 size boots on.. Still bedding them in just over 200 miles before i let rip on em... I have to say they are rather good! Just hope they last better than the 10k i got from the Contis, The rear Contis were still fine but i thought i would do the lot with them being slightly wider.. Good in the wet to! My local tyre man got me them for £80 sheets a corner plus VAT.

My car was 1 year old yesterday & what a lovely pressent it got my neighbour reversed into the front left corner as i was parked outside my house.. got nice go faster stripes on the bumper now.. Getting her to pay for it though she was fine about it, £50 plus vat for one of those places to make them scratches vanish! i thought it would be more than that! Oh how i miss my parents double garage...boo hoo

Its probably more because Reanault got a deal on Michelins.
