Does anyone know if the Goodyear F1s Gsd3 they are selling are made in Europe or in Asia? The European compound are supposed to be more suitable for "our" conditions.

In other words, the Asian compound could be dangerous in Swedish conditions, spring/fall. I´m sure someone have bought tyres from them.

Ive bought tyres from them and the shopping experience for me was faultless. I dont know about the origin of the tyres though - thats something I never thought of considering - but I should now. I bought a pair of Avons which seem OK.

Maybe the origin only is an issue on the F1s. Swedish Motormagazines warned poeple of buying "dangerous" Asian Goodyears. Of course they are a lot cheaper.

i enquired with goodyear, they dnt make that tyre to fit the 172, not the mk2 anyway.... ie 195/45/16.

I got 4 Goodyear Eagle F1-GSD3s in 195/50/15 for my 172 a few months back from mytyres.net - good service, arrived before they said they would and came shipped from Hanover (I dont know whether that implies theyre European or not). They have E13 stamped on them which is exactly the same as my Dads UK sourced Goodyears - so I think theyre pukka European ones... Might be wrong though???

Well the E mark is a European approval mark so they must be right.

The E mark is what i wanted

Thanx.
