Never used them but I know it's an older tire and feel the D3's or even the BFG KD's would be a better choice on our cars.

i run that tire on the front only,but i really like them over the stock F1's and the BFG KDWS and the BFG KDW set i have run before.

2 years and they still have real good tread left.
Handle well and you can real feel when you are almost pushing too hard(i like to auto-x a bit)

how are they for hooking? driving in the rain?
I guess what I am trying to get at is are they better or worse than the GS-D3? and by how much?

They came as O.E. on all the 2002 ZL1 Supercars..............but I can't really express an opinion as I don't have very many miles on my car.

GS-D3 are better in the rain. Tread wear is about the same on both. GS-D3 also cheaper.

Look at the newer Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals. Essentially as good as GSD3s and only $160 ea. Best buy I have found for street tires. Better than the F-1s for street use IMHO.

well I found the F1 Supercars for a lot cheaper than that but I did take that advice and looked at the firestone firehawk wide ovals and am pretty sure I will be goin with those. Read a lot of reviews from Z06 owners and how they replaced their supercars with the firestones.
