Just thought I would let you know what I thought of the new tyres on the 156 2.4 JTD SW Veloce.

I have had two sets of Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3s now and I thought they were really good, I tried various pressure in them but they still left the 156 a little crashy over mid bend bumps.

I have just put a set of BF Goodrich G-Force Profilers on as a replacement for the above, I've got to say I actually think they are better than the F1s for the 156, they are quieter, smoother, just as grippy wet or dry, I think because they may have a slightly softer sidewall they don't skip and crash on mid bend bumps, could be wrong, but that is what they feel like. A really good tyre, just have to see how long they will last.

Understand not wanting to mix and match makes, but if you could get a similar tread pattern and wear rate from a 'group' of manufacturers ie Bridgestone and Firestone and I'm sure there are others, I'm no tyre expert but it may not be so bad?
