eagle f1's FTW but we need someone to try out the goodyear asymetrics coz im really intrigued about these??

o and aland what does stella mean??

GY have not confirmed the release of the Asys in 205/55 16's as of about 3 weeks a go, so it's not looking good.  They do them in 225/45 17's, though.

nhope they make them soon, want people to start trying them out so if there good ill part with my money!!! :grin: :grin:

The size I mentioned above were only a couple of quid +/- to the normal F1's. :afro:

Go for the Asym's, Rich.  They came out top in a magazine test not so long a go, & they're only a fiver more per corner than the GS-D3's (225/40 18's).  :wink:
