I have the new Goodyear Eagle GS-D3's. Great tire for wet and dry. Not sure about snow. I am satisfied with them. Good street tire!

I also have the Eagle F1 GS-D3. They are a good tire. I really like the looks of them too. I dont run nittos anymore because they always wore out too quickly.

Same here, except mine get loose _very_ easily when the temp drops below 40 or so. And they _do not_ like snow

compair life to price, i drive hard and get a year or so out of my nittos and they were 167 each, bfgs last the same, maybe a month longer and they were 219 each just to give an example, i would rather pay less and replace more often, i figured it all out and i still save money

if u get them off the net make sure u knwo someone that would put them on, i could have gotten tires online for 161 free shipping but to put them on was gonna cost like a total of 190 per wheel. i could get them for 172 from discount tire. but the online price that slammedta said would be close to what you would pay at a tire shop.

how long do the eagles last? i have my self and seen others tear them up in under 10000 miles...just curious how everyone else is doing on them.

also to make sure u extend the life of your tires u wanna run good pressures. i found out that 40-42 in the front and 32-36 in the rears give me best wear rotating them every 4k miles or so. depending on your climate depends on what different pressures to run, but play with it and it can help extend your tire life by quite some time...just trying to help im sure everyone knows this but i figured i would throw it out there
