I've just bought some Eagle F1 Gs-D3s to replace my D2s. got them delivered to me, but not fitted them to the cat yet. Providing it's not too late, I'll definitely report on them once fitted...

I've been looking long and hard and can only find GS-D2's through mytyre.com -I'm looking at a place near me to fit any tyres I get, refurb my alloys and re do the geometry, which it really needs. They're looking a possibly importing GS-D2's for me from Germany as that's the only place they seem to be available and is the same source they come from on mytyres.com. I thought you would be more likely to find rocking horse p00 that GS-D3's?!

ah no probs If you've got you GS-D2's now could you please check them to see if they say made in Germany on them please? Apparently some come from China instead and are not really up to scratch. I may well be ordering mine through mytyre.com as well. Ta!

Hi Jim. Will gladly check as I will only use them if they are e-marked and German made but I haven't had a chance to inspect them yet and won't be able to until the 27th. They came from Germany though, so took a few says to arrive. Couldn't find them anywhere else. Wonder whether the boots currently on the car are d2s or 3s then... I bought them a few years back...
