OK, there are spent.

Managed 14k from the fronts (which is an improvement on the 3k from the SC5s).

Impressions over life of tyre:
The good - stable, quiet, wet grip almost as good as dry, predictable
The indifferent - grip levels, esp in dry
The bad - nothing really

Recommended with you want a quiet tyre which seems resistant to tramline.
Not recommended if grip is the most important aspect.

I have them and I find them excellent. Far better than the Michelin tyres that were fitted as standard.
Shop around and you can find  235/45/17 for about £95 each.

Look at any independent customer reviews and the Eagle F1's always get good feedback from users.

Ignore tyre manufacturer blurb. It's not objective.

Agreed. Grip in the dry is also good, hooligan

glad to hear that


by the way I had impressive results from a sanded old tyre ..( it had more than 6 mms of tread depth but surface was very hard)

Try Wanli Ditchfinders at about £50 each, fitted.

Not as bad as their reputation suggests.

good news Mr DTM

[Mr.OmegaMan]

So far all good here with x4 on the Omega 3.2 Saloon  235/45/17

Got to say, still impressed with the GY F1's, despite various reincarnations over the years.

Still think the GSD3's are/were the pick of the bunch but the current one is fine for me.  Good wet and dry, predictable and sufficient life for what is a consumer/wear item.....

Running the same spec on my 3.2 and so far very impressed...quite/grippy and sub £400 for the 4 fitted

It was  Mr Cem who led me in the direction of  Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres in the first place.

For Tyres or conspiracy theories, Cem's your man.
