I could do with some advice also guy's!

Got a P1 with the 18" Prodrive wheels on and 225/35/18 Bridgestone SO3 tyres on.

I've just recently bought the car and the front tyres are pretty shot on the inner edges anddown to the wear limiters.

The car tramlines like hell at the moment but I'm putting this down to the tyres being on their last legs...would this be right??

I've been offered a set of the old Goodyear GSD3's left over from my regular supplier for a cracking price of £440 fitted and balanced inc VAT.

I'm very tempted to go for this deal as it's obviously a great price but don't know if I should just bite the bullet cost wise and go for a set of the Eagle Aysim's that seem to be so well rated at the mo.

My driving style is pretty conservative with the odd A/B road blast once in a while, would I be ok on the wear side as It seems this is an issue with both the old GSD3's and Aysim's?

The car's running the standard P1 suspension setup without any mods.

Would like to hear from anyone with a classic preferably a P1 onthe same wheels and what tyres they found to be the best.

Sorry for the long hijack, but really could do with the advice as need to change the tyres desperatly due to wear.

thanks all.

Wear rates on the GSD3 were ok when I had mine I mean not shockingly soft like Yokos but not hard as nails like Avons. Prob similar to the Toyos you've run before.

Anyone tried Falken 452s?

I'm running a classic in 17 and have used both. Not a lot in it for day to day stuff. Both excellent in the wet. Asims have a slight edge in the wet but for the cost I would go GSD for now.

I would agree with whats been posted above,in the dry there is nothing between them but the Asims are better v slighty in the wet.

I've run both. F1 Assymetrics are quite a leap ahead in terms of handling over GSD3s. However, mine wore right down to 3mm within under 8000 miles, so beware - they're bloody expensive if you do big miles!

Thanks for you advice peeps!

But due to a constained budget, I've decided to go for a set of falken FK452's this time.

Figured as moneys tight at the mo and usually I'd go for the Goodyears, I thought it would be a good time to try the Falkens on this occasion.

Who knows...I might regret it but you don't know until you try I suppose and at a saving of over £100 on the price of the GSD3's, I'm willing to try them.

Anyone tried the Falkens recently??
