I was thinking of going with a 285 on the back, and have been looking at
tire reviews (here and on the web) for a little while now. GS-D3s are out,
none to be found in the right sizes (even stock). So, I'm looking at two
tires makes/models now, and trying to decide which I would prefer. The
Bridgeston Pole Position on the Hankook Ventus V12.

Living in the Atlanta area, during heavy rain the Interstate highways tend to develop quite a few puddles, some of which can be long and fairly deep.
So I need a tire that has very good anti hydroplaning characteristics. The
GS-D3 tires were fantastic in this area, allowing me to blast through these at up to 80mph without a wobble. It seemed they never lifted up on the
water, but stayed down on the road surface.

I've seen a lot that says for hard driving the Ventus has too soft side walls,
so I'm leaning away from that. And I've seen quite a few reviews that say
the Pole Postition tires are very good in the corners, with real good grip in all cases. I've heard both tires are good in the wet, though it would
appear that the Pole Position tires are rated a little higher.

So, though I might be interested in some of the other Bridgeston products as well, bang for buck, it seems like the Pole Position are the best
alternative to what I have been driving on. Unless I read something here
about a better tire before I buy my tires in the next few weeks.

Thanks for all who have contributed their reviews.
