RedM Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Love em on the back. Oh happy days. On the front however. When they are cold they seem to slip when a lot of lock is applied. They also dont inspire confidence at speed in anything over than dry conditions. Mr. Canny mentioned this to me before I got mine and I can see what he meant. Anyone else found this and what did you do about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I didn't notice this when I switched to GSD3's from Yoko' AVS Sports. Having said that I'm not convinced my geometry is set up correctly - so might be compensating for this effect. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 i think you need to get your geometry checked mate, when i had my supra i had F1 GSD3's all round and i never had any problems like that and i did a few very wet track days with them...

RobSheffield Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 is it international sort out RedM's car day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Had a thought. Running them at 36psi. Too hard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 i ran mine at 36psi on the road and a bit more than that on track... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I run my F1s at 36 all round and they're fine! They do say that in the cold/damp you can drop the pressure by a few psi for a bit of extra grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 36 seems high to me. Have you tried them any lower to see what its like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 36 seems high to me. Have you tried them any lower to see what its like? 36 is the suggested psi on the inner door frame on the UKs!! Mind you, I reckon 32 - 34 is more like it (even though I run mine at 36!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flat4_ire Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 36 seems high to me. Have you tried them any lower to see what its like? Run at 30 all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I think mine are 30 all round at the moment but thats on 16" wheels if that makes any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flat4_ire Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I think mine are 30 all round at the moment but thats on 16" wheels if that makes any difference. yeah well mine are 30 all round on 17s, not 100% sure on 18s but id imagine 36 is a little high guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TonkRZ Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 what is the correct tyre pressure for 235/40/18 and 265/35/18? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith C Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 You need the same tyres all round in order to be able to compare accurately - I had some godawful shite P6000's on my MKIII once and it understeered to buggery! The F1's are less absolutely grippy than some tyres, but IMO they are more tactile than SO-2's (what I replaced with F1's) and far more informative.

AJI Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 the eagle f1 tread pattern means it takes a little longer to generate the heat in them for their designed operating temp. I changed to F1s last year and I found that although they didn't provide the initial grip as my old SP9000's they did however start producing more grip once they were upto temp. They are great for the wet... due to the water clearing tread layout. And they performed excellent on the 'ring last year in dry conditions.
