Anyone using Goodyear Eagle GSD3 F1 tyres?

[GR7]

I found this article relating to Goodyear Eagle GSD3 F1 tyres but I don't know if they are used on any Clios.

"Anyone using Goodyear Eagle GSD3 F1s needs to read. The only ones that are good are the ones made in Germany, China made ones are crap and if you get ones made in Thailand you might as well be driving on marshmallows."

PRESS RELEASE
Goodyear Dunlop success in protecting UK motorists with legal action against unapproved tyres


Goodyear Dunlop Tyres UK Limited has succeeded in the first phase of a campaign to protect UK customers from unknowingly buying tyres that were not designed for road conditions in this market. As a result of this campaign, one tyre dealer has had to send 600 Dunlop tyres for recycling, to prevent these tyres from being used on UK roads.

The Goodyear Dunlop campaign targets Asian and African manufactured tyres bearing the famous Dunlop and SP trademarks, but designed for their local markets, and not imported or recommended by the UK company.

The 600 Dunlop SP490 tyres had been imported by a tyre dealer for sale in the UK, despite not being on the approved list of Dunlop tyres designed for the UK market. In an out-of-court settlement, the dealer has agreed to send these tyres to an approved collection agency, at the dealer’s cost, to be recycled according to the guidelines set by the Responsible Recycling Scheme.

Paul Wilde, Director, Consumer Tyres, UK explained: “These tyres did not carry the standard Goodyear Dunlop UK warranties on quality and performance. Therefore we took this action to remove unapproved and trademark infringing tyres from the UK market and protect innocent UK motorists who trust our brands to perform to the highest level. The tyres we list for sale in the UK are designed to have the optimum safety levels, particularly in terms of reduced braking distances, wet weather performance and are engineered for the types of road surfaces, road conditions and climatic extremes that prevail in this market.’’

We began proceedings against this dealer to protect the UK motoring public and to protect our loyal dealers. We would not hesitate to take the same action against any other dealer selling similar tyres that we do not list for UK sale. If we cannot guarantee their suitability for the local market, it is vital we take steps to ensure that the Goodyear and Dunlop product on sale from reputable UK dealers is the correct tyre for the market. ” added Mr Wilde.

“As a result of this action, customers should be reassured that the majority of professional tyre dealers in the UK are fitting the correct Goodyear and Dunlop tyres for our road conditions”
