New Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric

I've done 1 track day with these fitted. The track was damp and greasy in the morning and faultless, admittedly I didn't push to the limits, in the afternoon when it was dry they just got better and better. I had PS2's on for a previous track day and I have to say I did prefer the Goodyears.

They have been faultless since new. I am a fan of Goodyear's, I need to have more miles on them to see if there is any major difference from the GSD3's.

So far so good.

I did pay more for mine though :banghead: teach me to shop around....

Notice that people are running different sizes........

I have 235 fronts, and 265 rears, which seems to be the common setup, but what about those that ruuning different sizes?

What is the (dis)advantage to doing this?

Surely 245/275 means a harder ride? I assume also that the speedo reading would be out as well.

never a good idea to go over size you end up with lees rubber on the road

Exactly what I was wanting to hear :thumbs: As Im thinking I'll run these on road and track, cos Ive not got the luxuary of two set of wheels.

Grip and feel wise, you reckon they're better than PS2s?

Anyone know what the treadwear rating is on the F1s and PS2s?

[Mark CSL]

PS2 Tredware is 220 :thumbs:
Cups are 100 and cup+ 80

[1cosmicboy]

Cups all the way for me too........

[SMD]

Cant you sort cups for us? :whistle:

Iwould have thought the same Dave.

Running the Goodyears on mine at the moment. Came with the car an they're very strong indeed. Grip + traction when cold is good, gentle breakaway but to be honest I don't push them. I feel that I'd rather keep the car on its wheels and on the road.
Would certainly recommend them although I know TW&HW recommend the PS2's or cups.
I must admit that I would love to try the CSL on cups in decent weather, grip must be surreal!

Gonna sound silly, but does anyone have pics of them fitted?

Yes, I am that fussy I even care what the tyres look like :banghead:
