Ark Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Just got off the phone with Micheldever tyres - it seems the Eagle F1 is being discontinued. Has anyone else heard this, or was the guy talking crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucky40 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 This is true.........tried everyone to get a new F1 GSD3 after i picked up a flat at supra pod. Goodyear have discontinued these so the only way you'll get one is if a store has them sitting on a shelf somehwere. Tried ENVY, PRO Alloys. And everyone else i can think of. If someone claims they can get you one id tell them to ring goodyear before they promise, casue it aint gonna happen. Went for the Falken 452 instead as ive heard these are damn good and much cheaper.( do a search yourself on these tyres) was £140 instead of goodyears £180. Hope that helps, ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben-san Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I'm currently trying out FK452s on the front having failed to find GSD3s- they seem to perform rather well. May be a different story on the rears though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 The Goodyear site still had them as available! I've sent Goodyear an email. It's easier to get the answer straight from the them rather than go round in circles with rumour and heresay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a review of them the other day that said they were very good, a significant improvement on the old ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 They aren't available from Goodyear any more. Certain sizes are left in stock - they aren't going to shout it from the rooftops until they get rid of there stock Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I read a review of them the other day that said they were very good, a significant improvement on the old ones. Thanks for the reassurance Simon. Tyres are one of those things that cost a lot just "to try". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 If they do discontinue them, surely they'll just replace them with something better? If that's the case then it's no problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Thats a shame if its true. Not only do I trust the F1s 100%, I really like the design of the tread. I'm being sad of course, but they look great on the car. They were a rare instance of style with substance. The Toyos are close in design, and close in feel to me but the F1s had the edge. The 'new' F1s look naff, but obviously they will be as good or better than the ones they replace. The Pilots look ok, but c'mon, they're French.
