Tyres for Cupra which ones?

[stani540]

need a new set of front tyres for my cupra on the standard rims im currently on a full set of Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 (195/45 R16 V)

but i have seen Goodyear eagle F1 GSD2 (195/45 R16 W (80))

Whats the difference between these two tyres if any?

and any reccommendations would be great

Thanks

i thought the gsd2 was better than the 3, but 2's seem to be more expensive. run both on road and track, also others but these 2 have been the best thing i've ever put on it 2's are better than 3's in dry, but 3's better in wet
hope that helps a bit

cheers ian i may o for the 3's as im not around much this summer but may give the 2's a shot what do you recon?

I think the 2's have a slightly different tread pattern to the 3's.

Never tried the 3's before but ive got the 2's on the front at the moment and they're great in both the dry and the wet

Still rate the Uniroyal Rainsport 2's How stiff are the sidewalls on the Eagle F1s?

im currently running the gsd3 all round and have to say there great tyres but my fronts need changing badly! im going to go for the eagles again i think but cant decide between 2's or 3's

i have run the rainsports on my old polo and got to say i rate those highly to and there amazing in the wet but fancy giving the f1;s a try!!
