Goodyear F1's

[drunknmunky]

Im in need for some new tyres, so thinking of getting these, will anyone know what I will need to go on my 182

obviously being V or W rating, and which you think will be better GSD1, 2 or 3??

Cheers

 

[Djw John]

I really liked the 3, although the 2 is meant to be good as well. Surprised if you can still find an original!

 

[drunknmunky]

What size do i need, and also ive noticed they jst say there a summer tyre obviously these are all season??

 

[Djw John]

205/45/16 on standard 182 wheels.

Aye just means they are s**t in snow!

 

[drunknmunky]

is there anyone with them on, that as them all year round who knows, and as them on a 182??

 

[Djw John]

Ive had them previously mate and they are great in every condition bar snow. From Bone dry through to monsoon weather!

 

[drunknmunky]

righto cheers John

y would they be poooo in snow?? we dont get much snow down ere so

 

[Djw John]

I think the v-tread as a lot to answer for, just wrong shape tread for snow, no way of biting into it.

cheers for that mate

went into national tyres and he mentioned sumit about Avon Tyres

dont know though, what u reckon?

 

[bmh.01]

They always try to sell you something else, the F1s are the ones to get don't let them sell you anything else. You will be impressed, I still can't believe the wet grip they've got and i've been using them for almost 2 years.

 

[drunknmunky]

Im hearing mixed reviews, especially on the Avon ones, there also thebest tyre, they were standard on the Rolls Royce etc etc

 

[Martin_172]

im on my 5th set in teh last year and a half!

i actually get more fun driving in the wet because im always amazed at how much grip i get, i was nearly on 3 wheels lastnight in the wet going round a fast sweeping bend at 125 lol

 

[cat171]

I had Avons on my valver years ago, I had zv1's & then zv'3 they were ok, nothing special.

I had F1's on my last car, they were great.

 

[drunknmunky]

I think it will have to be these F1's then by the sounds are of it, how come not alot of ppl have voted for them in the poll, and voted for the PE2's?

 

[bmh.01]

PE2s come standard on the car, people like them so have them again imo. It all comes down the personal preference, the ContiSport Contacts that came on my 172 I though were bloody awful other people like them.

The Eagle F1's have a new tread pattern/compound now.

As I understand it there are still GSD-3's around but they are not producing them any more.

 

[bmh.01]

Nope they've been replaced by the new asymmetric pattern, don't know if they're avaliable in normal Clio sizes yet though.

edit: Just checked and nope they're not, getting there though. The GSD3s are still listed on the goodyear site though.

 

[mattg]

I have these on my 182 and they're very good tire in comparison to the michelins, and cheaper too! I replaced two at the beginning of the month. GSD2's are now very few and far between, but saying that there is also a shortage of the GSD3's at the moment as they're phasing them out. Found it difficult to find just two tyres! But there are some somehere i'm told!

 

[drunknmunky]

so theres nothing between the 2's and 3's? so am i jst best getting 4 GSD2's??

I jst want summit thats long lasting, have absolute minted grip in wet and dry

 

[DrR]

Just had 2 Eagle f1's on today, i've got Avon ZZ3 on my front now.

 

[drunknmunky]

what u think of them both??

 

[DrR]

Well had my ZZ3 on the back for 6 months, seem alright to me, not probs, held on well round the ring, then put them on the front and eagle f1's on the back about 3 hours ago so can't really comment.

 

[Wiking]

I have GSD-3 all around. Awesome on dry and amazing on wet.
