Pro that don't know
Being a professional tire builder (he he) for 33 years, I've read the drove of slander directed toward my employer's production of the runflat. The sad part being, as a Vette owner most of the negative stuff is true! My coupe is due for new shoes & Goodyear's Spring Employees Sale is fast approaching & fellas I'm strongly considering the GSD3. Flat or none homey, those runflats gotta go!!

My 01 coupe still has the orig run flats on it with about 12,500 miles. I just received a set of rear GS D3's for a good buy from a forum member. When the runflats get a little more worn I'll be ordering the front's from a local dealer here. Heard many good reviews on the GS D3's and can't wait to get them put on my car.

Hi gltrap54 -
Is your employer going to make the new F1 Supercar runflats in 17"/18" sizes for the C5?
That's what I am wondering right now.....
best regards-

The GS-D3's are very nice and you will definitely notice a difference in the ride of your car. If you want to stick with runflats though, consider the Firestone Firehawks. They offer a good ride and handling and still retain the runflat capability.

Maybe they could take the production mold time and floor space of the EMT's and make more OTR and Rear Farm. I sure could use some 184R46 Dynatorque Radials and 25" SGLs and GP2Bs. Just kidding!!!
