Just ordered a set of Eagle F1 GS D3’s...

[scondog]

...for my (silver with no air-con) cup.

Hope I made the right choice...had a set on my old rs turbo and I remember them being pretty good.

Had a a sh*tty set of kuhmos on my vtr and that was the worst mistake I ever made with that car. I learned not to cut corners on essentials after that I tell you!

Anyone else run these tyres? Any comments on their all round performance and durability would be good.

 

[McBunny]

durability = non

performance they are ok but feel squishy

I couldnt fault the F1s on my 172.

 

[scondog]

No durability?! how many miles did you get out of yours Dogmaul? And what do you run now?

 

[Tom_16v]

Ive got GSD3s on my valver and cant fault them.

Much better than the previous Yokos or Toyos....

 

[Lee]

I reckon Id covered a good 8 - 10k miles on mine and they were still fine, even with a bit of Santa Pod action.

 

[Griff]

Had GSD2s before and they were fine. No problems with excessive wear.

 

[scondog]

Cool banana. Cheers lads.

 

[McBunny]

6k on just plain old roads now i run a different car but i replaced them on the clio with rainsports they seemed to be lasting better and felt better too

 

[L77CUP]

Im just about to replace the tyres on my CUP and cant decide between F1 GS-D3 or Dunlop SP sport 9000.

Any Ideas?

 

[TheCake]

Cant fault the GSD3s on my Cup. Running 205x45 on the backs.

Running Uniroyal Rainsports up front 195x45

 

[Djw John]

Running 195/50/15 GSD3 on my 1.4 and they definately grip a helluva alot better than any other tyre ive come accross, much higher cornering speeds with them. Wear rate seems fine even with a few days at Crail as well.

 

[richy]

ive got the eagle gsd2 i think, done bout 6k on them still plenty life in them, not really had a problem with them, just will be changing from 185/55/15 to 195/50/15 next time! cheaper lol

 

[KDF]

Got rainsports on all round after my nightmate with Toyos in the wet. Made a huge difference, very happy with them.

Ran 205/45 R16s Good Year F1 GS-D3 on my 206GTi, excellent tyres with plenty of feel and nice stiff sidewalls, wet weather grip is fantastic too.

Probably on a par with the Michelin Exalto 2s, although cant do a direct comparison as obviously theyre on a different car.
