MT, whatever you do, DON'T look at your tyres! :whistle:
Only kidding mate, this is the 1st i've heard of it. Maybe explains why some people's melted on track?
Slightly ironic that this info is coming from a Volvo forum...lol
Seen a few mixed reviews myself recently, which surprised me as when I had a set before, they did nothing else but glue themselves to the road, even in damp conditions...
That is very interesting indeed! I wonder if there are similar scenarios for other makesof tyre. Well spotted by the person.
Check out my MR2 journal
I never had a problem with Goodies, and I'm on my 3rd set. I'm running Pirelli's on the new rims though - but only coz F1's are not availalbe in the size I want. F1s are the best tyre for the money still in my book
Hi All,
Not sure if anybody else has seen this yet, or if this is the right forum area for this, but apparantly theres a lot of talk on various car forums about dodgy grey import versions of goodyear eagle F1 tyres floating around.
Seems they are not legal for uk use (not "E" stamped) and are also far inferior.

Are they actually marked Goodyear? As I know I was offered a budget tyre that was an Eagle copy.
hehe went out last night and sure enouhg...'Made in Germany'.Originally Posted by OlberJ
Which is what I was expecting as they're the best tires I've had on the car ever - stick to the road like a Weegie sticks to his bucky :D
Priorities change, passions do not.
I forgot about that. lol Reactions like a cat.
Had a similar thing with brake pads last year. Bought a set of replacements (from a fairly widespread parts company) that turned out to be illegal to use on any car in Europe as they didn't meet any of the safety specs (no reg90 certification). So, worth keeping an eye on any brake parts fitted too.
Trading standards tore them a new one from what I heard, they're pretty hot when it comes to dodgy car equipment. Handy as a big stick to wave at any suppliers selling knockoffs or refusing to replace them.
It's a 2.0 inline four that thinks it's a viper v10. What's not to love?
