Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 Tires installed

[slythetove]

These tires are great.

I can use first and second gear again. The ride is better, the road noise is reduced.

They are the same size 275/40/17 as stock, but are actually a little wider. I saw them on the ground side by side with the old ones.

Highly recommend them.

I don't have a digital camera, but here's a link to Tracy's vert with them.

You'll get the idea:

I can't wait for spring so I can put mine back on. Wait'll you use them in the rain. I think you will be impressed.

 

[sambandit]

I cant wait until they make either a 305 or 315/30/18. The tread matches my Toyo perfectly.

I was looking at getting the GS-D3's but got a killer deal on some Nittos. Is 275 the biggest that you can fit on the stock rim.

Sly: Kinda off the subject, but what kind of work do you do next to Westlake? I go to school there and was just wondering. I always see you in the morning, and a couple of times at Jasons Deli.

I've had two discussions with product representatives from G/Y and they are actively pursuing the 315/18" size for the GS-D3. They are anywhere from 3-?? months away depending on customer interest. My last conversation didn't give me warm fuzzies.

I've explained the '03 situation (18x10.5 rims without a suitable GS-D3 to mount on it) and they understand there is a need, just maybe not big enough. I explained that Porsche also uses this size and that was news to them?!?!?

If you want these tires, let them know like I have. To make it easy, post your concerns ----> HERE :thumbsup:

I run a very small software company, and my office is right next to the 94.7 building across the street from Westlake high.

Is yours the blue '03 that parks in that lot sometimes?

Got5onIt: Thanks for contacting G/Y. It helps you and it helps me!

So how's the traction & handling compared to the Nittos ?

 

[skorost]

I have 17 inch GS D3 315s on... much better handling. quite sticky too when they get warmed up. The water traction is amazing too.

Is that much better handling then the stock F1's or the Nittos ?

 

[mike79]

Is it me or do the sidewalls on those tires look much larger then the stock F1's?

 

[flyn high again]

The GS D3s have "rim protectors". The sidewall overlaps and butts up against the rims giving some protection from curbs and other rim scratching objects.

 

[MTI LS1]

Yeah thats mine. I park it at the very top in the parallel spots.

Here's the stock F1's and the GSD3 315s side by side.

My D3s are 275front/285rear. Tire rack listed them as a Y rating, but they say Z.
