To be pedantic - GS D3's are the latest Eagle F1s. Source them if you can. I found that out just after I had the D2's fitted (still freakin great tho)



..........thats if your going for F1s that is :)

If you want grip and hard wearing (wet weather grip to die for) look at virtually anything from BF Goodrich. Checking the prices they aren't that expensive either. They grip as much as Yokos, and last as long as Michs.

Your right the a520's don't last long but I go for grip rather than life span. I had my first set of a520's on my mk1 about 5 years ago and i'm still on the same set. I have only done about 4000 miles since then though ;D

ive got falken 451 in 215 / 40 / 16 for ?60 on mine theses lasted a while not long ago i needed 2 front tyres as theses had worn so back to billy whizz and he ordered some more except theses wernt the 451 they were 512 a different pattern they looked good and they are good but they have seem to worn down alot faster than the 451..... but on there website they say there more durable than the 451....http://www.falken.co.nz/index.cfm/Tyres

i'm not sure why they have worn fast they seem to have worn in the middle more but my tyres are not over inflated as i'd of thought???? ??? i know the front do wear fast but this is faster than usual.. >:(

the roads and speed limits around here are terrible..
the roads are either full of pot holes. bumps. speed bumps. mini roundabouts or some other rumble crap which they put down.... i think this has something to do with it as my mates tyres have worn fast aswell

and gordon brown wants even more money!
they have just blown 71 billion! they wasted it.....
and people keep giving them more >:(
it wouldnt be bad if we got something good in return.
