Which Sport Maxx? I had the GT's on before going to the RE002's and whilst that aren't as good, they were a pretty good tyre.
Track Times: Phillip Island - 1:59.4027, Calder Park - 1:08.8142, Winton 3km - 1:40.7810, Sandown - 1:29.6000, Haunted Hills - 62.55, 1/4 Mile - 13.736
They are just the Sport MAXX which are the lowest, then the GT series is above it, some of the reviews aren't great and just spoke to a colleague, they're the standard tyre on the FG's, barely got 15,000km out of them.
Also found Advance Tyres in Richmond selling the RE002's for $200ea, that's not too bad, might get two of those!!!

Cant go wrong with the RE002's. Was really impressed with them yesterday

Bargain!!Originally Posted by xplosv57
where you find these Steve and what size?
Just bear in mind the GSD3's haven't been made for a while, so check the manufacture date.
The Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 and Dunlop SP Sport MAXX where near top performers for road tyres a few years ago circa 07.. a few tyres have overtook them these days.
As you know, I like the GSD3, excellent wet weather grip and quiet also, but overall I prefer the RE001s.
For $149, I'd get them.

agreed but check the date of manufacture.
RE002s were only released late last year, so that's not going to be a problem.

Has anyone tried the Federal 595 EVO in 225/40R 18?
I gave my sport maxx tyres back to the tyre place, wasn't happy with them. Instead I got them replaced, for free, for the new Eagle f1's and now having them for 2 months or so, I must say these perform extremely well.
