I'm due some more gsd3's soon. where did you get that price form? Also, i would consider going for 94 load rating over 91. better wall strength. After all we do drive uber panzer tanks!

My car came fitted with Pirelli P6000s, which were piss poor. Had GSD3s on for the last 6-7k miles and can't fault them. Loads more grip, quieter and best of all it cured the tramlining problems I had :)

The Goodyears are also wearing quite well considering :biggrin2:

Some good prices on those links, £156 delivered for F1's * 2 on my car! Just a case of finding somewhere to fit them that won't take the hump ....

I normally pay £205 a pair fitted ....

I'd be concerned about getting a bodge job and having the rims damaged, and having to pay extra for getting them refurbed than it would have been to pay the extra £20 odd i'd save .....

You also have to worry about the tyres getting damaged during fitting.
