Looking to get a pair of new tyres soon and going for 205/45/16 this time rather than 195.At the moment I have the rainsports3 which are good but I find the sidewall bit to weak and flex's to much,on my 205 I had Goodyear Eagle F1's which I really liked,so I'm looking to get either the old F1 GSD3 or the Asymmetic range prob the 3.Anyone running these?.

Didn't know you can get Asymmetric 3 in 205/45/16
I have Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 205/45/16 on the front and Michelin pilot sport 3 on the rear
The Goodyear's side wall is not much firmer than the Uniroyal rain sport 2 the Michelin ps3 is a lot better and stiffer in xtra load (xl)
Both tyres have similar wet and dry grip.
The Goodyear has less road noise and is more comfortable thanks to its softer sidewall.
The Michelin has better turn in and feel but more road noise firmer ride I don't know of a better road tyre than the Michelin although they are expensive.
Michelin for the corners Goodyear for the straights/motorway.
