Don't blame you for not wanting Toyo's, mine are terrible in the wet

The S-drives on the B seem pretty good imo, fairly good in the wet and good in the dry. I don't have much to compare it to though.

Good point, I think that F1's are slightly more than S-drives but I may be wrong People always seem to rate them though.

My F1s have lasted quite well imo.

I went through a pair of Yoko A539s on the front in around 12 months.

I've had the F1s on the front for 25 months now and they're getting low. Still got some life left in them although the grip levels have been deteriorating over the last month or so.

Can't remember which F1's are supposedly better out of GS-D2 and GS-D3 but this is the price for each: GS-D3, GS-D2, S-drives.

Glad to hear that... not I've got Proxed 4's, don't know if they're good or not Going with not great so far.
