Contender for the best all round tyre for a scooby; good choice.

Which alloys and who quoted you that price, if you don't mind me asking?

Pity, the GSD3s were excellent. Been hearing equally good things about the Asymetrics though, and £90 sounds very good!

had gsd3's for a couple of years. only other tyre i will consider is the asyms.

just got a couple on the scoob for 60 quid a corner much better than the ones i had on it before which were pap.

had them on my p1 and i have to say they were a very good tyre had no real complaints with them to be honest but just had a new set of toyo t1r's fitted last week as the garage had them on at a good deal so went for them and i ahve to say i think they are a better tyre seem to have more grip in the dry and dont seem to underster as much as the f1's still not driven in the wet with them but so far i am happy and glad i changed as they seem to be a better tyre

regards

Better grip in the dry I rekon, not so good in the wet, but they wont last as long, softer compound, hense the better grip. I agree with more grip in the dry, but IMO F1's are the best all round tyre. GSD3'd or Aysymetrics.

Just had some asymmetrics fitted to the wife's Golf GTI. The treadwear rating is 240, whereas my GSD3s on the Scoob are 280. This would suggest the GSD3s will last about 15% longer.

The tyres are different sizes, so not sure if they're all the same.

More interesting was the fact that mine are made in China (was told by my supplier you couldn't get German made ones anymore), but the new asymms are made in Germany.
