The GSD3's are great tyres, yeah, they look better, with a more "slick" like outer, and inner tread pattern, greta tyres, predictable handling, with loads of grip. Can get them at a good price too, if a common size.

Don't think mum wouls want 195's instead of 205's

Looks like the local place STS Holburn will be getting the business then

Stu, do you still firmly advice against the Toyo T1-R tyre?

I find when I corner hard, and I dont even have a high powered car it feels like my lower bushes or something is not right yet everything is fine and after reading (on here) about the sidewall not being as good as it used to be Im changing soon

Absolutely, even got their head tech reps on the telephone and they denied all knowledge of it, but i drive cars like this for a living and EVERY one i drive with T1R's exhibits the same fault, a floaty wandering feel that spoils your confidence in the car.. they ruined my first trip to germany, i dont intend to make that mistake again, and even had someone take me round in a Sierra with F1's and that reafirmed my view of them as the daddy all rounder (Cheers Nick)

I went round the Nurgburgring last year in Goodyear Eagle GSD3's, and they performed pretty well! Definately not a bad tyre, and stunning in the wet!

Only slight critisism is that in really good conditions (ie dry and warm) I found them to be not as good as Yoki's (my personal favourite).

I am now trialling Yoko Parada Spec 2's. So far, stunning in the dry, and not so stunning in the wet!

Do be honest though, if it rained at the Ring, I'm not sure Id trust the Yokos as much as I would the Goodyears!

Also, try www.blackcircles.com - they are not bad at all. Take them to friendly local garage, who will usually fit them for you for some cash.
