Eagle F1 GS Any one ever use a set of goodyear eagle f1 GS's? I got a good price on them ($175cdn/piece for 275/40/17) but I heard the wear isn't great and the tires aren't the best on wet. I really want the GS-D3's, but can't find any. Any heard about the GS's?

Yep, they were stock on my SS. Not bad, but certainly not the best.
You can get better performing tires for about the same. While I don't recommend them for the track - my Firestone Wide Ovals were $600 for the set, Nittos can be had for about the same (I'm probably going this route for my next set), and a number of others are also available in the $140-160/tire range.

The GS came stock on my WS6. I liked them. As they wore down they had horrible wet traction. They were great on dry pavement.
When they wore out I put the D3's on. The side wall is much softer then the GS. The car starts to turn, then the side walls flex. Then the tires grip. Took some getting used too. Also the ABS really comes on a lot more.
The D3 have 10/32 tread when new. I am down to 9/32 with 2000 miles on them. They are better, but I wont be putting these back on the car when their worn.

What's the "proper" PSI inflation for these tires?? Anyone?? If you didn't want to run a 275 in the front, as these run wider than normal tires, what would be the next best step up front?
