Question I need new tires...
I need some new tires. The ones I have currently are almost bald.
I want a good street/strip tire, one that handles nice and gets me traction both on the street and on the strip.

I know someone selling some Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 tires, with only a few hundred miles on them. Are these a good tires?

Any suggestions are appreciated!

GS-D3 are very good tires. I would not be afraid to jump on them. What sizes do you run?

I've ran a couple sets of NT05's on a few different cars and if you are looking for a summer tire they are great. The cars were just planted to the road, in curves as well. I will always recommend them and I'll buy them in future for sure.
