Which did you have on your 18's GD02 or GD03 ?
And where did you get them from plase, just interested as I know you got them at a good price and mine will need replacing soon.
Cheers

Micheldever Tyres in Micheldever 
I had the GD02s, but apparently the GD03 is the same price ish, 110 per corner on 225/40R18s (thats fitted and balanced), and approx 91 per corner on 215/45/R17s, again that includes fitting and balancing.
They have a webpage (search via www.google.com for it...), sorry I don't have the contact details on me mate.

Whats changed with the new model?
Had F1`s for the last 3 years on both Scoobies!
Not the unltimate dry tyre, but boy in the rain; what rain? (and lets face it we don`t all live in the S of France!)

James - the new shape has a larger rollin' radius than the original shape, on each alloy size, add 5 to the profile compared to the original shape Impreza.
eg. '00 18" alloys = 225/35R18
'01 18" alloys = 225/40R18
I'd agree they are not the ultimate dry tyre, but in the wet, which lets face it is more than common conditions here, they are awesome, IMHO.
Nathan - cool, glad thats helped.
Rgds, Alex

IMHO the handling in the dry is better than the OEM tyres - and in the wet, as DeepS said, worlds ahead.
Lets face it, wet handling seems to be more important in this country

I've had these tyres on my car for around 2k's worth of miles, and most of it unfortunately 
has been in the rain!
They do perform fantastic in the rain, and IMHO
are better than the Toyo T1s that I had previously.
In the dry, just as good as any other tyre I've used (and there's been a few!!)

Alex how would you compare the F1's in the dry compared to the OEM Bridgestones on the MY01/02 - Better??
