Goodyear F1 GDS3 Tyre pressures

[Fly Boy]

Just changed my rears from Toyo T1-s proxes to Goodyear F1 Eagle GDS3's.
Got the tyre pressures @ 28psi all round, set cold.
First drive (I know they're not scrubbed in yet) they felt really squirmy, as though the pressure was far too high.
Anyone else wearing F1 Eagles & what pressures do you use? Road & Track.

24psi all round.

Mine are at 26psi right now as an experiment. The car felt very fidgety and was liable to tramlining today.

24 all round is generally recommended, should be rather better on road; on track 26 (& will rapidly increase with fast lapping)

Not answering your Q I know, but when I put GSD3's on my Griff (replacing SO3's) they felt awfull for +/- 300 miles & a good few laps on track - really bad squirmy feel to them - but after this they were brilliant.

I've just got some to replace T1S's on the front of the Tuscan so I'll be interested to see how they compare. If the Griff is anything to go by the car should feel much less nervous on them.

I had new F1s (replacing SO3's) last year and my initial impression was awful!!!

Tramlining and general instability were the order of the day...
Messing about with pressures helped a bit, but something definitely wasn't right.

Took about 1000 miles but now everything is as it should be.....
In particular, traction in the wet or (esp) dry is vastly improved.

Give them time, and be careful in the meanwhilst......

24psi for me. Certainly take 300 miles minimum to settle down.

I've had GDS3's on the Tuscan for about 8 months and pressure set at 28psi all round.

Plus I've had the full geo jobbie done and some work on the front end...

Sticks like shit to a blanket ...all down to the driver ..what you find works the other guy may not
Though I have found the rears wear more in the middle of the tyre ...over inflated I guess,but it works OK with me
