Goodyear Eagles F1's discontinued HELP!

[dale172]

As title, tried everywhere to get a set and people who do have them are bunging aload on top now :dapprove:

Such a quailty tyre really like them!

Now what do i go for? heard both good/bad things about PE2's and i think TOYO's are dangerous in the wet so need 4 X tyres sames quality as F1 GSD3's

Also where is the cheapest place for the deal?

 

[dale172]

forgot to add thanks and the tyre size 195 / 45/ 16

 

[JON13S]

used to put the toyo 1-s on my vts! never failed me an sweared by them! especially in the wet when on the motor way you can only see a mist an 2 dry lines in your mirror. only the r888 track tyres i've heard are suspect in the wet! going to try toyos on my cup next! the amount of water the toyos dispersed on the motorway was unbelievable!

i too would welcome views on this as i dont want to spend out on a nice ful set if they dont suite the characteristics of the car!

i know alot of this is personal preference but i welcome opinions none the less!

cheers j

 

[dale172]

I had Those Toyos on my car but i felt in heavier rain / standing water they felt twitchy but thats just me and the guy from etyres hq who had them on his Williams

 

[JON13S]

maybe so! just might no suite the clios! never had a problem myself they seemed to take the punishment pretty well in the weT always give them the motorway junction test lol! heard t1-r are ok mate has them on a crx vtec. says they are a big improvement! other than that my choice was going to be eagle f1's (until about 5 mins ago) great lol.other than that going to have to get looking around again!

[dale172]

Cheers mate spent all day doing insurance and tyres pullin out clumps of hair and screaming alot LOL

 

[White16valver]

Toyo's are a million times worse than F1s IMO!

Are they really discontinued though? Is there a press release or email from them to this effect?!?

 

[JON13S]

thats my job next month! dredded insurance again! and then tyres! also gotta find coilovers bushes and a new speedline turini for a spare! such a bloody list! might go for the t1-r ill just kick my mates arse if they crap! he works at a trye place so i aint willing to pay too much if you know what i mean! j

 

[dale172]

Got three people to speak to goodyear hq been discountinued and will be replaced will asemitrix tyre range...dunno when tho

 

[The Hoff]

AFAIK, It's the F1 GSD2 that are being phased out. The GSD3 are still a current product, and probably their best selling high performance tyre - would make no sense.

[dale172]

trust me matey call etyres or camskill they only stock GSD£ and called and been discont. And camskill are well clued up.
they won a sodding award for being the best tyres as well

 

[duncansharp]

F1 GSD3 seem to still be available for 58 quid each from www.valuetyres.co.uk

 

[dale172]

WHOO got a bit of a result £68 inc Vat Fitted Per Tyre apprently he has actually sourced 4

 

[White16valver]

Have emailed the website - will post up when (if...) they come back to me.

Will be gutted if they're stopping the GSD2, I <3 them

 

[bmh.01]

GSD3s have been replaced by the Eagle F1s assemetrics afaik. Supposed to be as good/better.

These: http://eu.goodyear.com/uk_en/tires/repository/Eagle_F1AS/index.jsp

Wet grip is supposed to be better, don't know how they compare. Don't look half as cool for a start :dapprove:.

 

[jay s]

yep they are discontinued, my cousin works in a tyre fitting place and ive been on at him for 2 months to try get me one as one was running low ( 4mm left so its gone on the back for now ) everytime he speaks to the suppliers they say out of stock and no idea when /if any are coming in.. im going for a set of parada 2's next.

[Djw Dave]

[Els]

I need tyres next month as well... i need 2 front tyres and i think im gona get 2 x Michellin Pilot Exaltos i need the 205/45/16

Any ideas where i can get them cheap?

 

[Butler205]

I was after F1's. Went for Pirelli P Zero Nero. Standard size. Very impressed. Superb in the rain which surprised me as all other pirelli tyres I have tried were shocking in the rain.

 

[Stacemeister]

The new F1's look beteer if you ask me. They got a mega result in the tyre test in evo mag.

 

[Tom]

New F1's have won early every tyre test ive seen recently.

 

[ianeire]

Who gives a sh1t how tyres 'look'. Some of the best 'looking' tyres I've ever had the misfortune of driving on are also some of the worst I've experienced.
The new Eagle F1 Asymetric have gotten outstanding reviews in completely blind tests in EVO. I for one will be looking forward to trying them out if at some point in the future I change from the TOYO T1-R!

 

[Mutley]

Are the new Eagle F1 Asymmetric available in 205/45/16, i've read that they only come in 24 sizes and 195 or 205/45/16 aren't included.

Anyone know for sure.

You're are of course right, but looking cool is just a bonus lol



I've just got a reply to my email btw:

Hi,

Thanks for your e-mail.

In certain sizes F1 GSD2 & 3 are still available. F1 Asymmetric though as time goes on will become the main ultimate high performance tyre.

With regards to prices we advise you speak to your local tyre supplier.

So not exactly a conclusive email lol but sheds some light.

I guess it's much the same as before when the 3 came out - the 2 remained in some sizes.

Which sizes though doesn't seem clear...

Have replied to ask for more info!

T1 rs are the replacement for the T1's and there a massive improvement. T1's were dreadfull in wet and not that great in dry really!

They only seem to be made in 17> for some reason too??

 

[jayxx83]

i guess they will phase in the sizes eventually.

 

[obiw*nkenobi]

Very difficult to get PE2 205/45/16 Vrated tyres at moment. I had to get w rated from kwik-fit -£90each price match!
