Default Gs-d3 Me-2

Well add me to the growing list of those opting for Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires. Just got them on today. Very pleased so far (except I need to have the balancing rechecked to get rid of some slight steering wheel vibration...should not be to hard to correct).

I am also planning to send off the form for the $100 cash card for buying a set of four tires..not a bad deal!

Great Choice in tires.. Just wait till you hammer it on a wet street. You won't believe the grip.

I have had mine on for three weeks now. It is so nice not to bounce across bumps in the road. It is so much quieter that I can hear the engine and exhaust which sounds much better than tire noise. Oh and yes the car just sticks to the road like glue. No wet weather yet so I cannot comment on that. Bottom line so far so great.

Congrats I'm on my 2nd set.
If they did not get the balance correct the first time, chances are good they will not the 2nd too. Ask me how I know. I ended up going to a different tire shop for the balance. First shop stills says their machine is OK.

I want to go all 18 (or possibly 19 on the back) and Goodyear does not make the widths I need.

On the other hand, I would love to have these tires on my FRC.

Still deciding on which direction to take...
