I am very happy with my F1 GS-D3s
Since it rains like 60-70% of the 364 days in KL
Although the Yoko is great in the dry
But value for money+overall performance, I'll stick to my F1s

From what I read, not all GS-D3s are equal. Get the made in Germany ones if you can instead of the tomyam version which is quite common in Malaysia these days.

i know they get a good feedback OVERSEAS.
an autocross tire for a daily driver with a tread wear rating 200 and only 8/32 depth. Good one.
are you aware that tires work differently here than over there.
since you recommend them, are you using them yourself or are you basing all your comments from what you read.
the two Yellow Monster & Submarine using them, want to see more, come sepang in next HPC www.hpcevents.com :yahoo:

Good read. Thanks Bro.
I was using the GS-D3s last year on my E46 SMG. It does work well esp. in Malaysia - grippy in the wet, low noise and good ride quality too. Im on Michelin Pilot Sport now and kinda regrets it...they are noisier and definitely doesnt give good ride quality as the GS-D3s.
