F1 GS-D3 beat the Toyo's and SO3s in the Evo Mag test.
You pays your money, you takes your choice.

Depends on what conditions you mostly drive in, they are all a compromise some doing some conditions better than others, F1s were very progressive on the limit, but not aa good for wet breaking and lap times although great at avoiding aquaplaning. I like them personnally better than Bridgestones (not tried Toyos, can't quite bring myself to get over the Max power image!).

Definitely F1s!
Got a set of 215/40/17s for £94 all in from Bracknell Tyres.
Make sure you get the new model (D3 something) because there are still plenty of the old ones about (also very good tyre by the way).
