Do a search. It's a great summer performance tire and a lot of people love them. Great wet and dry traction, probably the best wet and straightline traction I've experienced from a tire short of a DR. I say straightline traction because the KD and PS2 tracked and handled a bit better having a stiffer sidewall.

People are going to disagree with me but I was not happy with the GSD3. I had the BFG KDW before and it was a better tire and cheaper, IMO. I could barely chirp 3th with them but chirp 4th with the GSD3! Great rain tire though. I now have the new NT05 but they are more road race oriented.

Yeah, that doesn't make sense. I've used both tires. Had the KDW for few thousand miles and traction wasn't near as good as with the D3 as long as the temperature was above 50 or so degrees.

I love my GS-D3's. I believe they've saved my life more than a COUPLE times. No problems whatsoever.... Oh! One problem. They suck in the snow.

I run these tires in the front and NT555rs on the back. Very nice combo for the street. I tried a cheaper tire once, some falcons.. went back 20 days later and paid the extra 250 for the gsd3's. Awesome front tires for sure

Loved mine on my SVT - never had them on the bird yet, but that'll change soon.

I had them years ago when they first came out & they were great!! I loved them, they were a great all around tire. My only complaint (which is minor) is that sometimes they'd pick up on grooves in the road and veer left or right, but it wasn't bad. I wanted to get another set but they jacked up the price & I couldn't afford them the 2nd time around.
When I said i got them when they 1st came out I literally meant they were brand new. I got them through Tire Rack for a little over $700 for 4 275/40/17's and all of the Goodyear places said they wouldn't even have them in stock for a few months. I dont think you can touch a set for under $900 now
