Re: Official Tire Review Thread
Brand: Goodyear
Model: F1-GSD3
Size: 225/40ZR18 and 255/35ZR19
Treadwear: 280
I've been fairly happy with these tires, and have mounted 2 sets
over the last few years. My 05 SRT-6 came with the Continental
ASP performance tires, and though they were more sticky than the
F1-GSD3s, refusing to break loose where the GSD3s do, I've found
the GSD3s to be excellent in the rain, never loosing their footing
while blasting through standing water of I-75 at 80+ MPH during heavy rain.
The GSD3s seem to last a little longer than the Contis, and with the
price of tires for this car, I was looking to get away from having to
change sets every year. However, I'm not getting that much more
life, but an additional 6 months sure does help.
Unfortunately, the last time I bought a set, I was told these were
being discontinued and would not be available in the future. So, a
quick thank you to the rest of you folks who have been putting up
tire reviews, as I'll have to find another tire that meets my need.
I don't "race", but as another member stated, I drive the car like
I stole it and the cops are close behind. And I tend to wear out the
outside edge of the front tires well before the tread wear bars rise
to the top of the tire.
I would buy these tires again, if I can find them, but think I'll go a
little wider in the back, as these seem a bit more skinny than did
the same size with the Conti ASPs.
