Vamp Neutral Newbie November 28, 2004 Share November 28, 2004 Anyone know where to get good price for these tyres: Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 Michellin Preceda Appreciate any feedback on them too. Is there any particular "country make" to look out for? Thanks in advance. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Supersonic November 28, 2004 Share November 28, 2004 F1 GS D3 got Germany-made and heard got thai-made. Preceda used to be Japan-made but think no more liao, stock all from thailand now. Btw, F1 & Preceda diff category. Since u driving LGT, u shld be looking at F1s. Dec 04 issue of Autocar (Asean) has an great tyre test article (last appeared in UK issue in Oct) between F1s, SO3, PS2, P-Zero, Dunlop Sport . Check it out.

Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear November 28, 2004 Share November 28, 2004 Yep, Preceda's are more quiet, although it also offers decent grip. They're not out and out performance tyres. I believe the Pilot Sports would be the high performance series for Michelin. Anyway, I got very good price for Preceda's for my Sunny recently at Guan Seng Tyre (681 East Coast Rd). They've been there for 20 yrs already. See my thread about Sunny 14" to 15" in this forum. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I know that the F1GSD3s are good, especially in the wet, I question the test results because the test was conducted on the Goodyear test track. Urm, correct me if I am wrong.

Soya Supersonic November 29, 2004 Share November 29, 2004 yes it was. but becoz GY has one of the best test track facilities in europe. but more importantly, they weren't using GY drivers, GY equipment or GY mkt dept. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Neutral Newbie November 29, 2004 Share November 29, 2004 Hah hah yeah. But I find the sidewall a bit stiff, although the tire is really value for money in performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Supersonic November 29, 2004 Share November 29, 2004 stiff? the F1s hv soft sidewalls, hence the comfy ride. tink the stiffness is in the thread compound and blocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Neutral Newbie November 29, 2004 Share November 29, 2004 I find my michelin precedas softer. Wanna try the dragon next, heard that it is stiffer than the rosso though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Neutral Newbie January 5, 2005 Author Share January 5, 2005 Just put the Eagle F1 GS D3 on my ride... very quiet and comfortable, comparable if not better than my stock Continental. No regrets, great tyres!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
