Yah, but they keep for larger sizes only. 17" only get Asy 5Ya I saw this too. Based on both this and their previous videos, I'd still think the F1SS is the better choice especially for us here where it can rain so heavily. Anyway since the F1SS should be available here in 18' then that's the only option I can use too. It will be awesome if also available in 17'.
Not true.You can never go wrong with V groove in Malaysia weather
That should be the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. I used the first batch that were from Germany. Really fantastic in the wet. However I heard later when the production batch came from Thailand factory those were still good but not as good as those from Germany....The early 2000s old v grooved F1's were amazing in the wet and super heavy duty against wear as well. They've come a long long way to what they are today
I had the D3's as well but now that you posted, i was i actually referring to the D2, which were my first F1s on 18s back then, 2001 maybe.That should be the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3.

My first tyres from SG were Toyo T1-R, had big hopes for the tyres, quite decent but I think they were over hyped at the timeYah, those days many friends get rims, tyres, spare parts, all from SG. I have not tried the D2, previously mostly on Falken, Yokohama, Dunlop before Goodyear....
Toyo T1-R I have tried before also. Same answer, over rated. The sidewall was too soft, with more air pressure was uncomfortable. Worst was wheel spin in the wet, dropping from 4th to 3rd on highway to overtake......lol How are the TR-1 on the Toyota?My first tyres from SG were Toyo T1-R, had big hopes for the tyres, quite decent but I think they were over hyped at the time
sorry, come to think of it, i remember it was the T1-S instead, which was before the R. But yes the original T1-R sidewall is rather soft especially for european cars at the time, was quite obvious.Toyo T1-R I have tried before also. Same answer, over rated.

Ah, the T1-S. Good to hear then TR-1 is better......sorry, come to think of it, i remember it was the T1-S instead, which was before the R. But yes the original T1-R sidewall is rather soft especially for european cars at the time, was quite obvious.
TR-1 is better than the T1-R it replaces, this range feel better than expected for a budget tyre, which is good strategy compared to previously whereby it was somewhat under delivering for a performance tyre
