Theres nothing wrong with GSD3s, but as Rhyso said they are the older version. Try and get your grubins on the Assymetrics ;)

I've just had a set of the Goodyear F1 Assys fitted for £480 incl tracking at my local depot. I did see the other day that Kwik Fit had them priced at a £120 a corner if you bought 4.

I would earnestly recommend the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 - good enough for the Bugatti Veyron, and also virtually all Porsches and BMW 'M' cars have them as standard.

I've got the PS2's on the front of mine and they are brilliant.

Neve had the Goodyears so can't comment on them.
