The car also goes down the road in a straight line without following every crack like my "crack ****" Conti's did. If there is a difference in grip between the two style F 1s you would likely need to be on the track to find it. That is unless it is really cold out then the GS-D3s seem to loose grip. I do not know if it is still going on but Goodyear had a great sale plus $100.00 rebate if you used a Goodyear card.
The A/S handle great on wet pavement and in the cold. My wife has them on her xfire and loves them. I was going to replace the Condi's on the SRt-6 with either the GS-D3's or A/S. After reading your comparison, I'm going with the A/S.
