Goodyear GS-D3s Are Great!
Just my 2c ...I just got a set of the new(er) Goodyears, the GS-D3. My car is lowered 2", so after bangin' around with run-craps for years, these things are like drivin' on pillows ('course so would square concrete blocks). The possibily of a tire going down does have me (and my rockers) a bit concerned though!
I've gotten a lot of compliments on the kick-butt new tread pattern and although not new (but I think for Goodyear?), but these tires have a rim guard too.
Seem like real nice street tires so far... :D

I have these tires on my Formula and they are great! Excellent in the rain and great traction off the line at the dragstrip so far (best 60ft has been 1.99)

I too would like to see the price. I haven't heard of 'em yet and wouldn't mind a picture...I'm too lazy to hunt 'round the Goodyear site.

This is my fourth set of tires (inc. originals). I payed slightly under $870 for a set at (where else) Tire Rack. Stock sizes.
After paying just under $1400 to replace the orig. tires with Firewawks, then $1200 (more Firehawks), $870 was a breath of freash air I'll tell you!
Like I said, the tread pattern is so kick-butt and the price is decent, ya can't loose!

I've had mine since April and they are great! :yesnod:

They seem to be pushing these pretty hard. I would imagine
the Z06 size is around the corner.

They look great!
Luv your white car! Just don't see that many where I live. I had a white one back in '85. I always thought it looked so wonderfully "sanitary".

I've been running them since April and they are Da Bomb! These tires launch so muuch better than the runflats or anything else I've used and are great on wet pavement. I got mine at the Tire Rack, where else? :hurray:

I concur, great tires compared to the Firehawks!

Re: Goodyear GS-D3s Are Great! (VinnyG)
How'd I get it so low? Check out the Z06 lowering tip here at the forum. The back is easy with bolts, whereas the front needs a pickle fork to take down the control arms, cut off (most) the bushings, and screw the things all the way up (some take 'em out completely).
Not technical, but I compared my car to an identical 98 to mine and the space between the tire and fender was as follows:
Front: ~2-1/8" diff.
Rear: ~2-3/8" diff.
I love looking up at Hondas and don't btm out ever (hardly). Road kill has a new meaning though.

VinnyG,
Luv your car too! Been trying to get someone nearby to flame my car, but HD tanks are the rage I guess. No ***** to do a car or something. Uhh, I'm afraid to ask, but those chrome calipers interest me. :hurray: Can you send some numbers (my wife's gonna kill me)?
