Well, done the duty and ordered 4 F1 GSD3's! should be here by tuesday.

can get them fitted at the weekend by a mate for FREE! or pay £5 a wheel to get them done at a tyre centre.

Cant wait to ditch my Pilot sports!!! they are crap IMHO

I havent tried any other tyres, but I can advise never to get P6000s on your car! I cant see mine lasting too long as the car is forever sliding sideways! good fun as I dont have to be going especially fast to make it happen, but its slightly concerning when the ESP decides I need help and suddenly works its magic sending me in the direction the wheel is pointing.... Will be after a set of F1s fairly soon I think!

Arrived this morning, and fitted this afternoon at 11.75 a tyre. so not a bad price all in, still about £40 cheaper than any garage quote to supply and fit! thats over half a tank of fuel!

Seems a bit slippy but then, had only done 4miles on them! hopefully they will roughen up and grip alot better!>?!

Yes they should get better when the sheen has worn off them...

£40 = half a tank of fuel!! I only get about £40 in from full to empty...

But I guess full to empty is over half
