I done my research before I bought em, made sure they were from germany

if it's made in Thailand, they're going to be fake...so they're technically not Goodyears...probably Goodmonths, indicating the amount of time they'll last before a catastrophic failure

mine also say german phewwwww

lol

cheers man

[RobSR]

@ riko, im not totally sure about that mate! Someone i no phoned goodyear, and were informed that they do make the ones prodcued in thailand and that they are not fake, they are just a different compound and made totally different to suit the roads out there, which is why the dont work here in england

Thanks

eep - I therefore stand thoroughly corrected, and slightly pwnt

The ones from Germany are the ones to have. However all the other ones are not fakes, they are just made using cheaper rubber, which means that they are not as good. Although you should notice if they are the different ones as they have a slightly different tread pattern.

They have also stopped making Eagle F1s now finished on Monday. They are now making the Eagle F1 Asimetric, which is still a very good tyre but dosent have the same 'aggressive' tread pattern. Should still be able to get them for the next year or so though as they made so many.

nah mate t1-r's thats what ive got on order, f1's are good, but these are promised to be soo much better!

[rob_bower]

phew mine are german!!!

I dont think there can be that much between the eagles and the T1-R's when i was looking at tyres i polled it on about five or six forums and there was only about 2 votes in it!! i think its all down to personal pref!!
