Scott_W has had them on his scoob. Had Toyo T1-S before and rates the Eagles better so far. Think he paid around 120 a corner.

Excellent tyres.
Good grip dry, amazing in the wet.
Only normal tyre that may be better is a Bridgestone S02 - but try getting those now.

Don't last that long though.......

You should beat that price if you shop around too. Try Gav at www.wallaceperformance.co.uk or maybe someone like Micheldever tyres.

Interesting commment about the wear there.

In 7.5k miles between service, my GS-D2 in 16" lost 1mm front and 0mm rear according to the measurements taken by my dealer.

Jimbob2, I have a friend that works as a tyre fitter,thats why they might seem a bit cheep, i origonaly wanted GS-D2's but he said he could get me something newer for a little bit more.

Sorry forgot to say VAT to be added on to price.

Maybe it depends on how you drive then

Omm after 7.5k??!! Something funny there..........

I found they get a bit furry on the track, think I overheated them a little

LOL. Ahh well, was all road, although included some rather quick x-country sprints in Catalunya for the WRC.

Just had a couple of GS-D3's put on my Evo, 225/45/17, £102 a piece from www.mytyres.net inc VAT and next day delivery which I thought was very reasonable.....

0mm after 7500 miles - bl**dy hell.
I had GSD2s fitted to my standard MY99 and the tyres were over half worn after 5k miles.
Tremendous grip though !
