Default GSD2's versus GSD3's

I have just had four new Eagle F1 GSD2's fitted as the tyre place couldn't source GSD3's for some reason. I had the 3's on before but the 2's are very good indeed, very grippy. Obviously new tyres are going to feel good, but these seem to hold the road very well, maybe better than the 3's. GSD3's seemed to slide a bit into corners then take grip where the GSD2's seem to keep hold a bit better. Be interested in anyone else's experiences of these tyres.

I'd agree with your report exactly, always thought the GSD2's were better than the revised GSD3

Ah good, thats interesting. I have 215/45/17's. The GSD3's were miles better than the Bridgesetone - frankly not very safe particularly in the wet - Potenzas. Very happy at the mo with the GSD2's.

Sorry, but can you tell me what the difference is between the gsd2 & gsd3?
Are they both XL tyres?:
