Goodyear F1 Supercar tires
Just wondering if anyone had feedback on these tires and how they compared to the OE Pilot sports in terms of grip, trameline tendancies, and wear.

Just a point of clarification - it is my understanding that the performance and other qualities of the GSD3 degrade unacceptably after a certain, too soon, amount of wear. I don't see that you two have had yours on for very long yet.....

Well for me it is between the OE pilot sports, PS2s and the F1 supercar.
PS2 is my favorite, but I do not know how well it wears and they are rather expensive.
F1 is a pick as it is cheap.
That said if a PS2 will last me a while and the F1s will not, I am going with PS2.

Be perfectly clear Auraraptor on the fact that the Goodyear F1 Supercar, F1 Fiorano, and the F1 GSD3 are three completely different tires -- and were produced/introduced in that order. The GSD3 being the latest manufacture and technology is the best of those three Goodyears.
I would recommend that you go with the PS2 as a proven tire/quantity, vs. the GSD3 as a still relatively unproven/unsure one....
I definately prefer the PS2 to the F1 Supercar - and I have had both tires on more than a few of my cars for some time now....
