I drive a mk4 Toyota supra TT running approx 400bhp and have had these tyres for about 18 months now. When I first bought the car over 2 years ago the car came fitted with Bridgestone potenza's all round and I had no problems with them until things got wet. The first day in the rain with the Bridgestone's I came to a 90 degree left turn accelerating gently and the tyres just lost grip uncontrollably and the car spun over 180 degrees before coming to a stop, suffice to say, I decided to change tyres. I bought the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's after reading many different tyre reviews and I must say I was quite amazed by the dry grip of these tyres but the real test was the wet road handling. When I first drove the car in the wet the grip compared to the Bridgestone's was simply amazing, they allowed me to accelerate comfortable round bends with no issues and when they do let go they do so in a controlled manner and allow you time to sort things out, unlike the Bridgestone's. You do get plenty feedback from these tyres aswel, enough to be able to control the car well and feel the road, however, I don't think this is the Goodyear's strong point. I have also noticed that these tyres are louder on the road than most I have used in the past but it's a small price to pay for all that grip.
