Have just ordered 4 Goodyear F1 Eagles GSD3 XL's for my WRX

The outgoing Bridgestone RE050's are still (Just) legal and have covered 30,000 miles.

Can I expect similar mileage from the Goodyear's?

And will they handle/Ride noticeably differently?

 

i used to use F1's..very good during dry weather, nightmare in the wet! never used the bridgestones though

 

One of the best tyres I've ever used, Had 4 sets now, Fantastic in the dry and amazing in the wet. I had 25.000 out of the last set I had.

It says something when the old bill use them on there traffic cars!!

I've tried Toyo T1S's and would never touch them again. Took ages to scrub in nearly 4000 miles before it felt comfortable to really push the car and they were not very nice in the wet, standing water was bording on dangerous.

 

i thought that f1 are the best in the wet never had any issues with my F1s and got 23,000 out of them

 

They do a new assymetric pattern in thre Goodyear.

I have just bought these for my STI in 235/40/18.

Will see how they are once fitted.

I changed from the original RE050s to GSD3s. The biggest change is the reduction in road noise. Grip in the wet is also excellent (no probs driving through a monsoon this morning!)

 

I've used GSD3s in all 3 of my scoobys...Great grip wet or dry. Their particular strength in tests was wet weather grip. A newer version is available in some sizes. Bob

 

Old F1's and old F1s were awarded 1st place in Evo magazine tyre tests.
