Went Ahead And Got The F1s haha!

[AdamRoutley]

was in a bit of a pickle this morning as i had to decide on some new front tyres as i had 1 flat and one bald! and although im meant to be saving for a holiday i thought oh sod it, get the best! so i did and hell! there better in the wet than my previous were on a hot sunny day!

the car is basically on rails now, and it hasent been dry yet!

£245, 2 new fronts and tracking (kwikfit walsall)

adam!

Hi Spud, hate to say it mate but thats a tad expensive! I got all 4 replaced for £400 quid so worked out to 100 a corner and thats kwik fit too.

Good choice of tyre tho!

 

[AdamRoutley]

they quoted me 110 a corner, and ATS were quoting me 156 a corner...plus i was quite restricted for time...gota say tho, not ONE bad comment about them..

 

[jonjay]

They are superb arnt they!? Wait till they bed in, usually takes 200 miles then you will get the full glue like feeling with them.

 

[AdamRoutley]

well i kinda stupidly put my trust in SCN and hit an island about 60ish (on a private stretch) and i afterwards i thought...oh man, i shouldnt have done that...but they didnt budge :-D

you hit an island at 60? anything broken?!?!?

I hope your joking spud hehe!

 

[AdamRoutley]

hit an island meaning, "went round" haha..but nah they are superb well impressed

 

[Gnollins]

They are superb tyres. As jonjay said, once they're scrubbed they stick like glue to the road.

Eagle F1's are probably the only tyres where you jump back into the car after having them fitted and can feel the difference as soon as you pull off - the grip levels are insane!

 

[AshCupra300]

Nice one, they do grip like buggery but lets hope they last longer than my F1's did, only got 5500 miles out of them

 

[Paul_W]

Exactly the same for me. I bought a set of wheels that had some old nankangs on. Even going around a roundabout at about 15mph in the dry I could feel the front struggling for grip. I had a set of F1s fitted and no matter what I do I can't recreate that effect even in the wet.

i must have bought a dodgey set. didnt like them from day one. feels like theres alot of sidewall roll and more oversteer in the corners compared to the pzero's that were on. lost it in the rain yesterday going round a long sweeping corner at around 70. thank god for esp, went broadside ,esp cut in and pulled the car straight instantley. i can honestley say i hope i only get 5500miles out of these tyres but cant see it as they have coverd around 1000 and dont seem to have worn at all but that could be down to all the rain we've been having and my gf using it most of the time. does anyone know of any bad batches of gsd3's as i have never heard of anyone else having a problem with them.

 

[RobM]

iannez - There were indeed some very bad batches of GSD3's going around that were, quite frankly, dangerous!

Do a search on Google for 'imported GSD3 Eagle F1' and see what you find.
