Yip I just got 2 new eagle f1's for a very decent price of £84 a corner, fitted with free tracking done at Camskill in Whitehaven.

As cheap as I've seen anywhere.

You're running on 17's though aren't you? Which is why they are cheaper than 18" tyres.

So how do gsd3's compare to previous your previous tyres, i need to replace front ones pronto but never had Goodyear. Current Potenzas have been good but mileage low at 4K. stuck to corners tho :)

The GSD3's are the forum favs. Go a qucick search and you will find all the info you need on them.

Just been reading some other threads. Also review between bridgestone, michelin and the Goodyear. Michelins just came out top, followed by Goodyears.

Will give them a go, depending on price to michelin ps2 sports:)

I love my Michelins! See attached photos of me at Donington running an M3 with Pilot PS2s in horrendous conditions:

I haven't heard anyone say anything good about the PZero Rossos. I got about 6K out of mine. They were quite a harsh ride too.

My PZero's wore unevenly, despite the tracking being perfect. Got sod-all mileage out of them, which I wouldn't have minded if they were a good tyre, but they were shite.

Exactly the same as me. They were new on when I bought it in October and by May, after 6k miles, they were bald in the middle of the fronts with loads of tred left on the edges. Rears looked almost new still!

Replaced the lot with GSD3's and the car is now much better to drive! :D

I'm taking the plunge for a full set of 5 GSD3's next month seeing as the 2 rear tyres are wearing low, the spare has a nail in it (again!) and the two fronts don't seem to offer any confidence when driving so hopefully I shall notice a difference. The old wallets gonna take a bit of a hit but considering my driving style and the mileage I do I should see a good return on them.
