Re: Which brand of street tires are you running on
 

I have the same tires on the car as when I bought it. The previous owner had just put new Goodyears on.

I haven't driven the car as much as I would like for several reasons so they still have plenty of tread.

Thanks,

Jason

I've read a lot of things recently about the GSD3 no longer being available for the ZR-1, yet I was playing around on the TireRack web site last night and they say it is in stock for all 4 corners. I don't need tires now, but after thinking these were no longer available, I was thinking I might just buy a set.

They were backordered for a while I believe. I don't think Goodyear ever said they were dropping them though.

I believe that a coupla of the members had a hooks w/GY and got the corporate line on the subject last yr when the D3's had been out of stock for almost a year.

We have a thread some where here I think where this was discussed. Anyway the short version is that not enough cars are OEM w/the 17" / 35 / 315's so GY runs very few batches of that size and they don't take into account how many drivers use that tire size as an upgrade. I see GY's logic in ignoring the upgrade quantaties. What are they gonna do to quantify that number & add it in to their projections. That's a tough one to calculate, no?

I have the Verdesteins. When I needed new tires, nobody had 315's in stock... NOBODY! Steve (Wegone) had put the V's on his car a couple of months prior and I decided to give them a go.

So far, I'm very pleased. Unbelievable traction in the wet and dry cornering is outstanding!! Great price/performance ratio too!

I can't believe I'm the only one with Dunlops :icon_scra I have Sumi's on the front and Dunlop 8000's on the rear. :cheers:

I did not think that Dunlop had made the 8000 in a 315 size since the dinosaurs roamed the planet.

Re: Which brand of street tires are you running on
 

Ah, that's right. They don't make the 335 any more. Nor do they make a matching front in either a 275 or 285.
