Goodyear GDSZ3-F1 versus Michellin PE2

[polarbert]

basically as above which is the better tyre?

the tyre specifically designed for the 182 which is supposed to be amazing, or the z3-f1 goodyear, which is supposed to be bloody fantastic as well

From experience of the gsd2 version of them, for winter use I think I'd pick the F1's

I would pick the GSD3 in terms of pure grip. However, expect the PE2 to last nearly double the life span.

Would be PE2, but if money no object pick the GSD3.

thanks for that adtmits good evaluation

Only used the eagles and been a passenger in a car with the exaltos and I believe you cant go wrong with either. The eagles tend to be a bot cheaper as well.

I have F1s and rate them highly; never used the PE2s but a lot of people do rate them.

No difference on price from what I've noticed; they are both premium tyres.

PE2's for me and ive had both

 

[Tom_16v]

GSD3's!

 

[V1NNY]

PE2's were good for me, slightly beter than the originals, i'm now using Michelin Pilot Sports by far better than most tyres

Unless you opt for a 215/40/16, in which case the Mich is £110 vs G'Year £80!

 

[polarbert]

sounds like they seem to be the same at the moment from peoples experiences

Ive had both btw.

... will that size go on standard 172 16" rims?

Having now seen both on track, F1s. They don't melt as easily as PE2s.

Think that is down to 185s, apparently the 195's aren't as bad, not sure who mentioned it?

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

I've heard it elsewhere though FM about someone who drove a Trophy on track. Said the grip was superb but they were melting in no time.

I suspect they offer slightly more grip than the F1s but are softer.

^^Yeah prolly
