Nitto NT555Rvs. F1 GS-D3s
Which of the two is the better choice? I need a set of new tires, I already have a brand new pair of Eagle F1 GS (factory equipment) but dont ever wanna replace them again due to ridiculous cost. I have a chance to pick up the GS-D3s locally for a very good price but I was also thinking the NT555r's in the back of my head as well.
Anyone have experience with both of these? The car is pretty well bone stock for now, and I think the max it will ever get is a full bolt on car and that's all!

The Nittos will have better straightline traction when warmed up. Otherwise the GS-D3's will outperfrom the Nittos in every way. Especially in the rain. They will also last much longer. If it's a daily I'd get the D3's. Especially if you can get them for a good price. Get rid of the stock GS's. They are junk. Don't know why they cost so much.
Edit: Whoops. You're talking about the regular street tire not the DR. The D3 will outperform it in every way.

I love my GSD3s !
They are a great all around tire. I never tried Michellins PS2s and as far as I know they are supposed to be on par with the GSD3s but I love they looks and performance I dont want to try others

They're good, track a little better than the D3's but are way too expensive. Any performance tire is going to sandblast the inside of your fender and quarterpanel over time.

I got two brand new D3's out back, it just suited my needs better. I LOVE the way they look Also, it could be just me but they look a bit wider then my stock GS's despite that both are the same size.

Oh, and a word of warning, don't drive with them in the snow.

Just warning you. I got stuck in a freak snowstorm one day. It wasn't even that bad and I felt like my tires were rotating drums. Due to the v-tread design they don't shed snow at all. Do great channeling water though until they get bald.
