Can't fault mine, rain or shine, I'll be replacing them with more of the same, as for wear rates i've only done about 4000 miles and loads left on them

yeah, ditto what everyone has said. They keep the arse end of my mr2 planted in the wet, which didnt happen with cheap tyres on!!!!
Not had to replace them yet, only got them 6months ago.

Had them in an 18" fittment on the mondeo (FWD), good grip, good road noise ( quiet ), average wear. Not as good as the Potenza's I have on now. Didnt think they were owt special.

Had them in a 195/50/15 on my Fiesta and they were utter shit IMO

As everyone else has said - Brilliant grip wet or dry, and good tread life.

They have been phased out now, and have been replaced with Eagle F1 Asymmetrics, although you can obviously still buy the GSD3s from companies that still have some in stock.

FANTASTIC tyre as long as they're the pukka German-made version.

F1s are my fave tyres

they also do a new one called the assymetric, worth looking at.

unfortunately goodyear dont cater well for smaller sizes so i can't get em for my MR2

They look nice standard too.
How did the handling differ once you'd put the standard alloys on?

Great in the wet, and okay in the dry on the road.

I shredded a set on a track though - never again for track work!
