Default Nittos vs GS-D3's

I just bought new wheels and I need new tires to put on them. I want to be able to hook up well, but I also want to autocross it, so the tires need to handle decently, as well.

I'm thiking either Nittos w/ 555r2's in front, and 555r's in back, or Goodyear GS-D3's all around.

Any opinions?

depends on what the price range is for you, if you ahve money, gsd3's if not, nittos, they're both very good tires.

If you have the money the GS-D3 hands down is a better auto cross tire. Nittos are a really good value

Alright, since I'm doing well at the moment, I'll throw on some GS-D3's. Thanks for the advice

I have GS-D3's also, 285's all around. I love them. The grip is insane. In 1st gear it it really hard to break them loose even with 385 rwhp.

Do the GS-D3's benefit from a burnout like the Nitto's do?

No, I don't so. They are performers right out of the box! Well, they dont come in a box but you know what I mean...
