Anyone regret buying GSD3's?
I have totally wasted my Pilot Sport A/S ZP, and I couldn't be happier! I DID NOT LIKE THE PILOT SPORT ZP TIRES!
I am now considering going with the GSD3's and am curious if any of you who have the GSD3's regret buying them?

These are the best tires you can buy for the street - period. I've had mine for over a year and am amazed at how well they wear for such sticky tires. Goodyear nailed the right compound perfectly.

I just put them on my C5 a month ago and they are great. I have had the OEM runflats AND the F1 Supercar tires that are OEM on the C5 Z06 to compare them to. The GS-D3's are much better than the previous tires mentioned.
I am now going to buy a set for my little 06 Honda Civic Si

I dont think the ZPs perform as well as the regulars because of the hard sidewall needed to be a ZP. that is why many people do not replace runflats with ZPs basically same concept.
I run Pilot Sport Cups - a totally different animal - but feel they are the best handling street tire out - of course they are r-compound tires which makes a big difference.
I think for an overall street tire for most users the GSD3 is a great choice.

I put them on a C4 and was very impressed. Smoother, quieter, and better traction. Very cool looking tread design. Sold the car to buy the C5 so I do not know about wear characteristics. If they came in runflats there is no question I would put them on the C5. I still have 10000 miles to go on the runflats and plan to go with runflats again.
