Hii guys,

I just want to buy new set of tyres for my 2000 MGF (VVC)
I have 16'' rims on my F.

I searched a bit and learned that GY F1 GS-D2 and Toyo T-1R Proxes are good choices. However, in my country (TURKEY) tyre dealers can not supply GS-D2 (I can find just for front). They offered me GS-D3.
What do u think when u compare D2 and D3? Which one can be fitted my 2000 F and which one is better?

I confused a bit, the price of toyo is cheaper than GS-D3 and GS-D2 (app. 20 pound for each tyre, totaly 80). What can u say about all 3 tyres when you also consider price?

MY2000 F VVCs should have the same size tyres all round (215/40 ZR16s), and the best place to look for advice on tyres at the moment is Rob Bell's site

Not at all, the Trophy has the same suspension as a 'normal' F just harder. The tyre size was chosen for a better handling balance over the previous 215 all round and was why Trophy tyre sizes were used for the TF.
Please someone write to conclusion...


Should I go 215 all round or 195-front 215-rear?

should I go Toyo or GS-D3?

Just to throw this into chaos, for some fappin reason MG recomended 215/45 R16 all round for the 16x7 Cup alloys on the MK1's without "trophy" suspension. So maybe thats the route to go. Mine certainly grips like a kitty on a curtain.

I'd go toyo over GSD3 but only cuz of the documented problems, and the absence of GSD2's.
