Hi

probably the most talked about tyres are the Goodyear F1 GDS3. Brilliant tyre in the dry and wet, once they are scrubbed in (1000miles).

Cost £80-85 each fitted and balanced from Kwikfit. When you ring up they will say £115, just say you can get them for £85 and they will normally match it or better the deal.

worth a call for an excellent tyre at a cheap price

I'll second the above. I've been using GSD3s for near enough a couple of years and can't fault them once they're scrubbed in.

If its for an Impreza its 205/50/16

The cheapest I found F1s was £86 a corner delivered, however I went with Avon ZZ3, £69 a corner delivered if you ordered 4, at www.camskill.co.uk.

This was 2 months ago, it is a very good tyre wet and dry IMO
