for what size rim?? if price is not a consideration go for neither...
BUT if you have to choose between the two - G3.
I got GIII atm hard compound tyres and can't complain abt it :)
Haven't tried F1 tho, and if i'm not wrong the price are simmilar too
I got Eagle F1's (V pattern) and Bridgestone GIII's on at the moment.
If the Eagle F1 are the same ones I got, I'll prob go for the GIIIs.
I love the rim protector on the GIII.
they're goin on stock civic vti-r rims (15", 205/50) i think is wot i got there atm)
yeh...gotta choose between the 2 and those 2 only. most likely go for g3's.
Ill be investing in the G-Grid3's shortly. The cheapest quote i got was for $700 fitted and balanced, which works out @ $175 a tyre. What are you paying BPA???
not paying for them. long story on how im getting them, but wont go into
I have the eagle f1 gsd2's on my car don't like them that much, I heard the g3's are slightly better.

g3's seem the go i guess.....so g3's it is :)
LOL that is what I got quoted for 205 50 15 GIII's today for my hachi roku, minus $5 a tyre because RACQ member :PQuote:

just a gut feeling
I got the GIII for $120 apiece, 195/50/15, fitted and balanced. My first set of "perfomance" rubber, and I'm very happy with them. :)
And yeah, the rim protector lip is great for those retarded sleepy parks. :)
thats easy... G111s.
I went from G11s on my old wheels to F1's now... HELLO UNDERSTEER.
F1s need to be warmed up heaps... although they are a lot better than G11s in wet whether.
Where the hell did you pick them up for that price????Quote:

gIII seem sligthly better but they are both good. hancooks are really smokey.. =D

If you have the option........try the Yokohama A539s :D

Goodyear F1 is not so good in the wet compare to G3
both perform about the same in the dry, G3 have an edge as is a newer design.
i think this comparison deserves a little better than a plain old, "x is shit, go and buy y".
which f1's are you talking about? the old gsd2's, or the new gsd3's?
there is a world of difference between them... and about 8 years product development. you can't compare the old f1's with the current g3's... it's a bit like comparing an ae82 corolla with an ek9 and using the result to say that all civics are better.
i was on a set of gsd3's right before my current tyres, which are g3's. the absolute grip levels seem to be very similar in the dry, although the g3's have much better feel- the g3's seem to be stiffer in the sidewalls than the gsd3's. turn in is much more direct with the g3's, and as a result it feels a little more surefooted.
in the wet, the g3's are nowhere near as good as the gsd3's. both tyres offer similar resistance to aquaplaning, but the eagle f1's had much better grip on the wet tarmac, as a result the car felt less flighty and was less likely to spin the front treads when taking off at traffic lights.
as for which tyre is better, it's hard to say as it depends on your priorities, but if money is a factor, the g3's are anywhere from 10-20 cheaper, per tyre.
i have gIII's atm 215 50 16" i think. nonoe the less i love them. one thing i must say thoough i swear they seem to loose aire pressure fast. even my mums car which came sock with bridgestones loose pressure quick (not over days quick just quicker than normal. although i guess it could be the result of more spirited drving now i have some decent low profile tires...
If you're loosing air, you might want to get your tyre valves checked..Quote:

theyre ok...but for the price i got them...obviously great...
in the wet theyre surprisingly good
How are GIII's compared to C.Drives and SP 3000A?
had G3's on my GTR
really good on the wet and not a bad performer around corners in dry
good traction too
and they lasted about a year.. i replaced it after camber wear in the inside tyre
but overall
good value for money
GIII for sure~~~
had been using 5 set of them in different type of car!
rims protector is a nice bonus too~
use to have Eagle F1,but don't really like it..........
