Default Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 (245/40/18) - Installed

Size - 245/40/18

For the archives, this size tire fits on 18x8" s-line wheels with no rubbing at full crank and hard cornering on stock sport suspension.

The good:
-VERY quiet
-great dry/wet grip
-minimal tramlining
-aggressive stance

I'd rank these up there with my old pilot sports and b-stone re050a pole position tires. Both excellent street tires as well.

Default thanks. do you have any pics that are closer up and at an angle..?

i'm trying to see how that tire size sits on the wheel considering it is slightly wider.

your wheels are 18x8 et45 right?

thanks in advance!

Default If they work for this (see pic) I suppose they'll work on yours ;)

Default Best tires I've ever driven on, best rain and cornering performance

I had them on my 2000 A6 2.7T MT6 and they could handle anything, I could take a corner at 50 and the F1s wouldn't even squeak. I also don't think that I ever experienced hydroplaning with them.

Plus they just look cool, especially when you're coming out of a puddle and you see those treadmarks point to where you are.

Agreed. I am running 235/45s on 18x8s. They will tramline more on cold days.
