  1. Hi Everyone Would like to seek comments of this 2 tyres. I hav did a search on this forum but confused with the comments. Hope direct comparison of these 2 tyres will give me a better gauge. Currently saw autobac selling Eagle F1 GSD3 215/45/17 (THAI) at only $670nett.. really tempted. comes with 8 time tyre rotation, nitro fill & membership. Comments? jemjem
  2. Guys, I'm contemplating to use Fed 595.. Read from reviews here but ended up dicussing on other tyres... I'm looking at these factors against the GSD3: - Dry & Wet Performance - Traction - Treadwear - Sidewall Stiffness/ Steering Response Thanks,
  3. heard that the factory in Thailand got burnt down and the production will shift to Indonesia.....
  4. Latest news...18" GSD3 now comes from China...no more german ones... going for $260 per/pc or thereabouts...
  5. Hi guys, just visited a tire shop and the guy quoted me germany MY06W52 eagle F1 gsd3(215/40/17) at $195 ea. The thai alternative cost from the same shop costs 150 ea. Just ranting to recover from his sharp knife[ouch!], luckily bought only 2 pcs. Some shops are selling the same profile thai model for only $125
  6. Hi Bros, Anyone on F1s made in Thailand. Was thinking of getting the 15" version for my next tyre. And the price is good, about $75-80 per pc. But not sure if it is good as it ias made in Thailand compared to its German counterpart. Any feedback and reviews on this? Rgds, sevenz
  7. Hi Bros, Was thinking of changing to GSD3 soon, but not sure how is the performance of this Thai-made tyre. Understand that the foreign made one is ok. Any feedback on this? Thanks! :)
  8. Can anyone enlighten me on the above? Pls PM me if the info is 'sensitive'. Thanks! (I know someone in the forum is selling his 2nd hand ones but I don't need the tires now so not getting from him... )
  9. Anyone know is there any marking on the tire to check whether is it a GSD3? Most shop quoted ~$180-190 for 215/45R17 but one shop quoted $165. Understand there are 3 generation of eagle F1, at that kind of cheaper price could it be made in Thailand or not the latest generation.
  10. This is my personal view so take it with a pinch of salt. F1 GSD3 - 29,000km CSC2 - 400km Steering Input/Rolling Resistance The CSC2 has much lower rolling resistance and this is very obvious because the steering is much "lighter" and the car reacts to steering input in ultra quick time. Add this quick response to our 156's quick rack of 2.2 turns lock-to-lock and its a joy to switch lanes and overtake. (I am doing that like nobody's business now). The car is also able to cruise for a longer distance without the need for throttle input. Ride The sidewalls are REALLY SOFT!!! Most of the time I was on 33 PSI with the F1 GSD3. With the CSC2, I am currently on 34 PSI. Did several runs over at Changi Costal Road where there are lots of speed strips. When going slow, the ride was quite hard (i.e. no bounce) when we were on the F1 GSD3 but with the CSC2..... going slow is NOT an option. The car literally BOUNCE!!! So if you have CSC2, go over speed strips faster than normal then you will be fine. It is unfair to judge the noise level now because when the FA GSD3 were new. They were also very quiet. Rubber Compound I am no chemist but the F1 GSD 3 seems to have a softer compound because you can see stuffs like tissues, sand, grass etc. stuck to the tyre at the end of every drive. The CSC2 looks pretty clean. No stuffs sticking on the rubber. Traction IMHO, the F1 GSD3 has better traction/grip. Its "bite" on the tarmac is very reassuring. While on the CSC2, I had to do execute a hard braking maneuver once when a taxi strayed into my path as I was accelerating past Xkmh, (number deleted for sanity). Although the car did stop in time, the initial "bite" was just not there. But considering the comments above on Steering Input/Rolling Resistance and Rubber Compound, I think it makes sense. Conclusion Now I am accelerating, driving and changing lanes much faster than before but then I don't have the confidence to drive as aggressively due to the reduced traction (perceived or otherwise).

  11. Hi all, I have been looking high and low for the Goodyear F1 GSD-3 (made in Germany) for my car. The profile is 195/55/R15. Is it available in Singapore? Cos from what i heard, apparently there is no size for this model.
  12. Any feedback for the above two tires? I prefer the Toyo as it is wider and more aggressive and I think it will protect my rims best. My second concern is quietness and wet grip.
