Yep as rick says excellent choice of ROAD tyre.

But they dont stand up too well on all out track attack use but to be fair thats not what they designed for

Good choice

My Dad had a problem with the GSD3 tyre cracking the inner walls. He has had all 4 replaced under warranty....

Could have been a bad batch of tyres as he got these about 12 monthish ago when they were only just starting to appear on the market..

Not as good as the older model, but very good nevertheless.

I used F1s on track for a year, and never had a problem.

I used my F1 GSD'3 round bedford and after 3-4 laps the surface of the rubber was like small crumbs where it had got hot and scrubbed off. Maybe i was pushing the car too hard and sliding the tyres too much ?

That just means you're trying mate

The heat you put through tyres on track as opposed to road is huge!

I had a set of tyres "go off" so to speak (F1s) after some really vigorous driving, and it was some experience - like driving on ice!
