Goodyear Eagle F1 Gsd3 235/40/18

dry: 10

wet: 10

over all: 10/10

these are the best tyres for a street car that sees an occasional race day.

My car is also used in hill climb type runs and these tyres wet or dry offer an amazing amount of grip.

^^ I would have to disagree with you there, in the wet maybe for some applications but in the dry no, i have run both the GSD3 and Potenza S03 on the rear of my S14 ( with every suspension mod avaliable so alignment is spot on ) and the difference is worlds appart, the S03 is so much a better tyre, i find even in the wet which is surprising seems the GSD3 is suppose to be a wet weather tyre.....

Just brought the new bridgestone adrenalin RE001 for my GTR in 265/35/18 @ $450 p/t, so far they are going great compared to the Advan A048s I took off, but it is very wet and so thats probley not a fear comparison, Anyone interested in how they go be at the SUA track at wakefield day and i happerly take you for a run. :)

I am really keen to see how these Adrenalin,s go for you as i am looking at getting a set fitted to my Gtst next weekend.. Anyone else got these fitted yet?.. i belive they have only been out for two weeks and are claimed to be a better sticking tyre than any other potenza.. any one???

Toyo T1rs on the track had huge amounts of grip!! very happy these rubbers.. But only got them on the fronts..

Rear advan ad07s.. anyways i could predict the front, and toyos never failed or became to hot or any other issues..

Just thought i let people know!!

:P

So far shaping up to be a good thing, i've had G3s and S03s in the same size and on these rims and the RE001s seem

better alround and a fairly good match for the Advan A048s for dry street use and walk all over them in the wet, can't

wait to get them on to the track to see how they go compared to the Advans.

What I really want to see is how they go against the 595RS Feds.

What would a set of Toyo T1r's set me back to fit Stock R33 gtst rims? Happy with their grip....Cheers!!!

I'm going to get a set of these for my next set.

I was quoted:

225/50/R16 $200ea fitted

205/55/R16 $200ea fitted

I'm going to get 205's cos the 225's (nexen's) I have at the moment, the sidewalls move around too much when cornering.

I too will be running the new adrenalins on the trackday.. (getting fitted this weekend).. its been hard to choose between the toyo and these.. the toyo seems to be very well known for its soft sticky type handling but i can get the bridgestones at a better price and i like the idea of guinie piging something new, plus i dont think ill be doing more than three track days a year and i feel the potenza adrenlins will be a better street/ track tyre..

mate....you either buy fk451s again or you get worse grip...they are the best street tyres I've used. Yes they wear quickly but you have fun in the meantime.

Next best in the price range are probably the federal 595 but they still arent as good.

I just got a set of the fk451 in 245/45/17 for $250ea from tempe tyres for the stagea.

tempe still have 451's? you serious? man when i got mine mid-late last year they were being phased out for the 452 and almost noone had them.

Im only gonna replace the rears for now, what are the Potenza S03's??? And the Toyo T1R?

My car doesnt see the track but it gets alot of street use. :thumbsup:

Ive got Nexan 3000 on all four wheels.

front are 225/40/18 rear are 245/40/18

ive found they are very quiet and are quite grippy whether it be dry or on the wet.

i like em'!

Dont take this the wrong way, but they are rubbish tyres that are used for compliance and by cardyards because they are dirt cheap. If you like them you need to try something decent to redefine your standards.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
