I use them.

Got them fully fitted for £620

Gave it some stick today in the wet and they are superb!

Thought Id bring this thread back up since I mentioned them elsewhere.

Anyone using them?

A good comparison here http://goodyear.tiremedia.com/news/44.html

GY F1s seem to beat the PS2s in most catagories.

Price wise, for exact same size - F1s are almost £400 cheaper

just had 235/265 fitted @ £600 all in.

very impressed so far - they are massively quieter and more comfortable ride than the Contisport C2 older option.

grip seems very good but not really done much in wet conditions yet.

will report back after forthcoming Scotland jaunt.

£600 fitted is even better than my £620 fitted.

Where have you been mate

I've done 1 track day with these fitted. The track was damp and greasy in the morning and faultless, admittedly I didn't push to the limits, in the afternoon when it was dry they just got better and better. I had PS2's on for a previous track day and I have to say I did prefer the Goodyears.

They have been faultless since new. I am a fan of Goodyear's, I need to have more miles on them to see if there is any major difference from the GSD3's.

So far so good.

I did pay more for mine though

teach me to shop around....

Notice that people are running different sizes........

I have 235 fronts, and 265 rears, which seems to be the common setup, but what about those that ruuning different sizes?

What is the (dis)advantage to doing this?

Surely 245/275 means a harder ride? I assume also that the speedo reading would be out as well.
