Tyres on GT TDI

My front tyres are about done on my car after 19k miles. Has anyone changed from the standard Continentals? I'm considering getting Goodyear F1 Eagles but at around £200 for them fitted they seem a bit expensive! Has anyone got good or bad reports on their tyres?

I've not had any experience with those tyres but you get what you pay for really.
I paid £105 (I think) for 2 Toyo Proxes T1-S to be supplied & fitted.

I think they are shockingly rubbish!
No grip what so ever in the wet or even just damp! Each to their own i guess!

I had turanzas on the passat and they were superb. tons of braking power in the wet, saved me once on a roundabout when some idiot just slammed on for no reason whatsoever.
and good on the corners in the wet, but under power in the wet they did slide a bit but you can't have everything.

no, me too.
I had turanza's and they are pretty crap grip. I asked the tyre centre I use to recomend a tyre the last time I needed a pair. They put on GY F1's and to be honest these are as bad for grip but they wear out quicker : (

I find my Eagle F1 GSD3's superb, the grip in the wet or dry is fantastic.
