Does anybody know the difference between the F1 gsd3's and gsd2's. Will the different tread pattern affect the tyres performance?

The 2 main differences between the 2 and the 3 are:
1. GSD3 tread pattern is a little more efficient when it comes to moving large amounts of water. On an averagely wet road then the difference is negligable
2. The GSD3 uses a harder compound. This means better tyre wear but have less grip, especially in the winter as they take a long time to warm up.

I spent ages trying to find GSD2's when i needed new boots but couldn't find a whole set. Probably the best tyres I've ever had.
