Default Eagle F1s DS2 vs DS3?

OK, gonna need another new set of tyres asap (that'll be the 4th set in a year ) not sure if i should go with the Eagle F1 DS3s i know theyre the new ones but not heard anything about em. i LOVE the DS2s tho.

so, has anyone compared the two? what do you guys think of the DS3s?

for those of you that dont know:

DS3:

yes you can get DS2s still

i have killed 6 tyres thru wear and 3 thru damage (blowout, puncture, tennisballed etc.)

thats 9/12 dead tyres the remaining 3 wouldnt have made a matched set, i always replace in pairs even if one of them is a perfectly good tyre

Prefer the GSD2's but they are becoming a little rare.

gsd2's are a softer compund

i have had gsd3's on my escort gti and the 200 and their superb.. dont wear anymore than any other tyre.. (and yes i do trackdays) wet or dry give bags of confidence
