Ive seen these tyres pop up in a few threads before as being good but just had a look and theres two types of grip pattern. Just wondering which ones were the best to go for really.
EAGLE F1 GS-D3

or
EAGLE F1 GS-D2

Thank you

I found the d3 to be the better of the two
I used to have d2s a fair few years ago and most of the places I know now stock the d3s instead

Proxes are shit. Wouldn't use anything other than the Eagle F1s now tbh.

Seconded, although I'd go back to Toyos if the funds were tight.

Interesting, I always thought the directional tyres were better for grip than asymetric ones!

Has it rained with them on yet? If not, prepare to be amazed. Their wet grip is brilliant IMO.

I went from proxies, which gave absolutely no confidence in the wet, to F1's and I couldn't believe the improvement.

looking on the Goodyear website they seem to be as good, there's also excellence tread too
I know from ordering tyres at work it's getting harder to get gsd3's
