Stuff these Goodyear F1's. Rubbish when it gets cold.
« on: 22 December 2009, 13:56 »

I'm putting all season tyres on next.

Might try Vredestein Quatrac's.

I've got Avon ZZ3's all round and I've not had many issues in the Scottish snow.

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

In their defense, Goodyear do acknowledge that for winter driving the tyre only gets one star out of five.

I've done more shoveling than driving with those one star summer lightweights on the front.
The most dangerous tyres I've ever used.  A curse on Evo and their sunshine tyre test. 
All season tyres next for sure.

the Assymetrics or the old GSD3's?  :huh:

GSD3's were next to useless

New Assy's are much improved :afro:

Exactly - they are classed as a 'summer tyre' so what do you expect when the temperatures drop  :rolleyes:

I reckon you're just a sh!t driver Egbert :grin: :grin: :grin:

Anyone else got any other suggestions? I was thinking the same thing about the Eagle F1's.

What are the best all weather tyres out there?  :smiley:
