Probably Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 is one of the best tires to drive on wet roads. Experts and experienced drivers recommend Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 for fast driving in wet weather condition . This tyre is probably one of the best resistant to hydroplane. This tire also doesn't wear out as quickly as other high-performance tires, according to many reviews.
Critics say the Eagle F1 GS-D3 matches or exceeds even the top-ranked summer performance tire when it comes to hydroplaning. According to reviews this tire also doesn't wear out as quickly as other high-performance tires.
For instance Continental Sports Contact 3 is the competitor but Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 a lot cheaper [RM800++ vs RM550].
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 however looses to other 'summer' tyres on dry roads, and testers find the former is also less comfortable to drive and noisier but the differences are slight, and critics recommend the Eagle F1 GS-D3 as a solid all-around summer tire that is extra-capable on wet roads.
Since I always love to drive in wet weather condition, it looks like my next tyre change must be Goodyear F1 GS-D3... because "all tyres are not the same on wet..."
Goodyear F1 GSD3 225/45R17 price:
made in Germany - RM550 ea
made in Thailand- RM450 ea
The best hi-performance wet tyre is actually Goodyear Hydragrip. Unfortunately the tyre size is limited to 16" and not available locally.

308T Tyre Consumption
Probably most of us are wondering how long can CSC3 225/45 R17 tyres on 308T last. Wild guess could be between 30,000km to 40,000km. Right? No?
Remaining tread depth 5.45mm after clocking 20,000kmLet us calculate...
New tyre tread depth = 8mm
By measurement, average remaining tread depth on AHW308 tyre after clocking 20,000km = 5.45mm
hence, the average rubber compound consumption = 8mm-5.45mm = 2.55mm (i.e 2.55mm/20,000km or 1.275mm/10,000km)
By taking tread wear limit = 2.5mm
then, the actual usable tread when new = 8mm-2.5mm = 5.5mm.
Since the tyre consumption is 1.275mm/10,000km, then the expected tyre life = (5.5/1.275)*10,000km [i.e around 43,000km]
Solving Infamous Pulling to the Left Problem
It seems that majority of 308 cars in Malaya and everywhere on earth have various degree of drifting sideway towards LHS. AHW308 too, but bearable and improved after exchanging front tyres with the rear [at 10,000km].
Taking advantage of different tyre wear, at 20,000km [almost tyre half-life] there is virtually no more drifting after 'X'-swapping FL tyre with the one on RR. [Note: FR and RL tyres no change place]. Cubalah...

uncle i nak tukar to this as my next tyre set lah:
Eagle F1 Asymmetric
its same price as Eagle F1 GS-D3 tak??
i think this is like the best compromise between wet and dry and its affordable hehe not like CSC3 just as u said :)
Correct. GY F1 Asym is the best overall.
http://ahw308.blogspot.com/2009/08/tyres-for-peugeot-308-turbo.html
The price is about the same as GY GSD3. Made in Germany is around RM100 more expensive than made in Thailand/China.
I prefer wet tyres, hence GS D3, unfortunately not easy to find 'made ini Germany' rubber compound.
set to join you as mine are looking fast for replacement already ..
