Great to hear! Are they the Eagle GSD3? If so, they are one of the best all around tires you can buy..esp. in all season. Car and Driver did a test and they finished #1 out of alot of tires.

No, he was referring to the Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season tires.

I give them a Jung's :thumbs:
But only as a 3-season tire.
IMO, I would not run them in the snow or ice; or below -10°C/14°F !


Those Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 (German design) tires are SUMMER ONLY TIRES!!! lol

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 Tires Picked as Best Overall Performance Tires (http://www.grandamgt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61898) by Car & Driver, Dec. '05.


& Their winter counterpart are Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grip GW3 (European designed) winter performance tires.

Don't forget to take a easy on them for few hundred km; breaking them in.

You need to scrub off the top layer, that is a little slippery.
Before you will get the full grippiness.

Breaking in Your Tires

Tires are comprised of many layers of rubber, steel and fabric. Due to these different components, your new tires require a break-in period to ensure that they deliver their normal ride quality and maximum performance. As tires are cured, a release lubricant is applied to prevent them from sticking in their mold. Some of the lubricant stays on the surface of your tires, reducing traction until it is worn away. Five hundred miles of easy acceleration, cornering and braking will allow the mold release lubricant to wear off, allowing the other tire components to begin working together. It is also important to note that your old tires probably had very little tread depth remaining when you felt it was time to replace them. As any autocrosser or racer who has tread rubber shaved off of his tires will tell you, low tread depth tires respond quicker."Don't be surprised if your new tires are a little slower to respond (even if you use the exact same tire as before). Their new, full depth brings with it a little more tread squirm until they wear down.

NOTE: Be careful whenever you explore the capabilities of your new tires. Remember that every tire requires a break-in period for optimum performance.

I work for Goodyear, and the F1 All seasons are one of the best high performance All seasons Goodyear makes... Great tires.

The F1 GSD3 are awesome as well. A lot of people use them on Corvette's...

BTW - Triple Treads FTW

Got them installed today..Got a nice break on the price cause they were the first ones they have sold. I wanted the GSD3 but I couldn't go for an all out summer tire and then winter tires on top of that, so I got the best of both in one...

As for not running them on snow or ice. They said they contain almost all the same tech as the Goodyear Assurance, ecxcept there ZR rated..not tha the GAGT can even hit near 186MPH. I am thinking that they will hold up fairly decent through the snow.

I will try to keep you all updated on these tires.

Thanks..Never heard about breaking them in really

Put 500km on this weekend and hit rain followed by snow last night coming back into the city. Tires held like a charm, even accerlating uphills
