Had a full set of these on for a couple of years, the fronts are down to about 3mm. Looking around they've either disappeared or nobody carries any stock. Doesn't appear to be a direct replacement available in the Furby vRS size, just some EcoBarge tyre called the EfficientGrip.

Any one tracked them down anywhere recently?

Good tyres, had them on mine when I first bought the car, they were virtually new, great grip but only lasted about 7000 miles and were £120 ea to replace. They are no longer available in that size any more and the tread patten as changed as well. You might still be able to get part worn's off Ebay. Still have a set on my track wheels as they grip so well.

id look at uniroyal rainsport 2. getting some rave reviews at the moment

I'd rather match them to the rears which still have a good 6mm on them. Tried mixing GSD2s with the factory Bridgestones and it was horrid in the wet.

The fronts have done OK - 11000 miles and they're down to about 3mm.

You did well then, must have been giving mine too much toe LOL

When I bought my car it had GSD2's all round. I replaced a pair with GSD3s. For summer tyres I can't fault them. Both were one of the best I've had in the wet. They sliced through standing water with no problems at all. They lasted quite well too. However, They didn't like the cold one bit! In the snow, slicks would be just as bad, they didn't like frost either!

I'm sure I've seen some internet places stock them (or say they do). If you can't find them I'd suggest Uniroyal Rainsport 2s as they are just as good.

Can't find 'em anywhere. Filled in a form on the Camskill site and they advise that they're expecting a delivery in late March.

Fingers crossed!

I see, sorry thought the Fabia was on 17" wheels, obviously the MK 1 was on 16"

Plenty of wheels on fleabay, more out lay though I guess.

Good luck

my sss had f1 eagles on ,it gripped great and i mean stuck to the road in tight corners at speed,i know on the forums i was on and meeting people in general like most decent tyres theyre not available for 6 months in this country,lambo's are great as they use them then you get a flat and end up with your 250k car stuck in a garage for 8 monts awaiting a new tyre
