Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD-3 or Toyo Proxes T1-R
I'm looking to get some new tires and ive narrowed it down to Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD-3 £486 a set or Toyo Proxes T1-R £419 a set
Has anyone any views on which is best or should I go for a different tire etc?

www.mytyres.co.uk are pretty cheap, the T1R's work out at £70.70 each for the classic 16in wheel, including vat and delivery!

Jason,
I've just gone from fairly new gsd3's to new toyos due to a wheel swap... i preferred the goodyears, the toyos are a bit 'squishy'......maybe just a bit new though.. 17's mind... i had toyos in 16 and they were fine....

I had a set and they were gone in around 10K (swapped from to back etc).
Whatever you do though, don't scrimp on tyres - get the best you can afford.

Toyo's are good when new, but once worn down to 4-5mm left, I don't think they inspire confidence in the wet, and they don't seem to be able to cope with standing water as well as the F1's.
The Goodyear F1's are good all the time, go with those.

On a greasy road the Toyo's are MUCH better than the GSD-3's. On a dry road the GSD-3's seem to have the edge. Yet to try in the wet although seem fine on wet motorway with standing water.

Just had 4 new F1's fitted at Micheldever Tyres for £420 including fitting, valves, hidden balancing and front toe/camber alignment.
...and they used a proper torque wrench to tighten the nuts.
Very highly recommended.

I am getting T1R's fitted today.
They are replacing the naff Avons that were on the car when I bought it a few months ago.
I selected them simply because of having Toyos on my old MR2, which gave me fantastic grip (T1S).
I don't think there is much difference between the 2 types.

I personally found the Toyo T1-S's were cr@p in the wet or on damp roads and never inspired confidence. In the dry they were just as good as the Goodyears. I've found the GSD-3's aren't as good as the older GSD-2 tyres and are much closer to the Toyo's for damp conditions.
Only downside with the Michelin's is their expense. Costco usually do some deals on them, but I can't remember if I've seen the PS2's there.
Since a lot of my driving is boring motorway stuff I'm prepared to deal with the less grippy tyres if I can get some decent life out a set.
