Anyone running either of the above? Am buying new boots all round on Friday and am just trying to clarify a few myths - namely:

1. Will the GSD3's fit without rubbing (dealers told me that only P-zero's will fit)?
2. Has anybody experienced the 'weak side wall issue' with 225/35 GSD3's?
3. If you were spending £600 on tyres, which would you fit?

Thanks in advance

i had f1's on my p1, they rubbed slightly when the car was loaded on the nearside rear strut, that was about 18 months ago, so they were prob gsd1's or 2's maybe

From a place called Tyre and Exhaust Company in Houghton Regis. Their number is 01582 861278. I originally ordered Pirelli P Zeros at £110 each all in, but there seems to be a massive backlog with Pirelli, so changed to F1's.

I've just rang them and they received the wrong tyre rating, HR instead of ZR. Hopefully be in for tomorrow now.
