GS-D3's are great street tires. I had some 275/40r17's on my GTO with 430rwhp, 6-speed, and 3.91 gears. Would only bark them slightly slamming 2nd. All the other tires I tried on the street would send me sideways on the 1-2 shift.

Really? Can someone else verify? I have heard that the BFG's are useless in the rain but on a dry surface they should work better than the Goodyears by alot.
