I've got them and since going to Eagle F1's and comming back to them I really rate them now!
Nice and cheap to and will do untill I can afford some Michelin Exaltos at 110.00 a corner

i've got them, i think they are fantastic, everyone on here seems to say they are crap though
in the dry and the wet they have very good grip! especially when you get a bit of heat in them

Had them and found they run out far too quickly. I prefer Eagle F1's.

Just whacked them on the rear temporarily, it turns out I wore the outside edges out and it was causing the car to handle really badly and on full lock it was inducing too much toe in/out so pulling out of junctions was proving difficult.
Only after replacing both top mounts and haveng a full geometry set up we realised it was the sodding tyres all the time 
Actually so impressed with how it handles now the rears are on the fronts and are fully scrubbed in.

GSD2 and GSD 3's GSD2's are supposed to be better but you can only get residual stock if you are lucky now

I had proxies on the front of my corsa and didnt like them at all.
Stuck some Eagle F1's on there and I was very impressed, great tyres.

Well i had T1r's thought they were good, then went to Eagle F1's GSD 3's and thought they were pretty good then gone back to T1R's and megga impressed with them. Understeers alot less than the F1's even when they were new.
The thing is each car is different but these suit the geometry and extra camber I am running on the Clio. I really want Exaltos but cant justify £500 for a full set

I had them on my old Corsa B. They were good but I found Goodyear Eagle F1s to be better

I would still stick with 45 even if they are 16"
Little bit bigger but better ride as a pay off
Mine were 45's but on 15"
