Interested in what you think of them, assuming they are almost scrubbed in by now ;)

Too early to tell, done about 150 miles.... they are either not very good or still not bedded in..... the later I think! oh and hope :D ;)

Will post again once I have put them to the test! :D

The old eagles needed a good 500-1000 miles to bed in nicely ;)

by the way plantie ive got the f1 gsd3 as well and similar experiences as yourself re the tyres.also ive spoken to goodyear uk and they told me as long as the tyre has got the emark e13 in a circle on the side of the tyre then it is a uk spec tyre[this is in responce to the "cheap tyres for scoobynetters" thread

What do you find disappointing with them so far?

Wish I'd read this sooner....I Just got F1 GSD3s in 215/40/17 fitted yesterday. I'll let you know how they go. The S02s they replaced were 205/50/16"s and were amazing.

i would say they are more comfortable than the original bridgestone potenza re010 tyres and no tramlining.early days though as ive only done about 100 miles or so but they feel a bit wobbly [could be because thiere new] with 33psi fronts and 31 psi rears-so they are much better with 35psi front[dont know if this will wear the centre of the tyre out quicker?] and 32psi rear and i might increase this to 33psi to see if it tightens up the back end as the fronts now turn in buitifully with 35psi. i think they need more time to bed in as ive not had any problems with grip wet or dry.as ive said before ive had the powerstation bumpsteer mod. ,4 wheel geometery set up[fast road] and anti lift kit and all this has now come together with the better tyres so i can feel the difference from the standard car and is much more enjoyable to drive fast and safe. car is ukppp99 standard suspension.

THEY ARE BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL TYRES THOUGH.

I went for some to be different than the Toyo crowd ;)

Initially thoughts, nice and quiet on the mway, better turn in than the Pirelleo P-Zero I had on before.

Sorry for hi-jacking the post, but thought you might like the feedback....changed up from S02's in 50's to F1 GSD3 40's:
Done about 3-400 miles on them now, first impressions are good. Turn in precise, solid feel, no tramlining or jiggling around, smoother ride on 40's than expected. Dry performance so far seems good, wet surprisingly so. I thought they'd be good on standing water with that tread pattern and they are, but they also seem to 'dig in' when pushed on mid-speed corners, and under a bit more provocation they don't break away suddenly or slide off but kept trying to hold on.
Am running 33/30 I think and no signs of roll.

I'm loving my F1 GS-D2s in 205/50/16.

Ended up doing laps of a roundabout in the dry the other day. Lovely and adjustable with no sudden snapping away :D
