Thumbs down No Eagle F1 tyres anywhere !

Need my set of rear F1's replaced but cannot locate any.

I've been told that Goodyear have a back-order and don't have a date.

Even my local Honda dealer cannot get a set of these F1s' - they quoted 4 to 6 weeks !

The GSD-2 (which is the fitment for the OEM 16" rim) is being phased out, apparently - that might account for the recent difficulty in getting hold of them.

The new GSD-3 doesn't come in the right size so you may have to consider something else. How about Toyo Proxes? They seem to be well-received by people who have tried them as better wet/cold weather tyres.

When I was last at Bracknell tyres they were very complimentary about the Toyos and said that they are gaining popularity in the market place. Cost wise I think there was about

This is bad news for me too! I had a bit of an 'incident' at the mega meet and can't find any rears either - but bought 2 new F1 fronts - so if I can find any equivelant rears it looks like an expensive mistake on my part
