Default New Tires

Do the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s just help handling or traction also? Any comments and info on these tires will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Good for high speed handling not for racing street wise, hard compound when they get about 5000 miles on them, smoke real nice though, but too expensive for that.

I like mine. For the rainy season you cant beat the way they hold.. I got my set of 4 mounted and ballanced for 1200 even with road hazzard n all that ****... yeah its alot but i dont burn em off racing. thats what ET streets aer for. The only down side to them is if your like me, you tend to hold the wheel lightly, If there happens to be a tar snake in the road(ill explain if you dont know what that is) it will grab it and try to follow it... same goes for grooves n such. over all ive had them id say 8 months and rotated them twice. they have tons of tread left. but if your a tire spinner/smoker i wouldnt suggest them.. they are way to $$$$ to melt.

Yes, they are not drag tires. However, straight ahead grip is much improved over the stock F1s. But, that was a low hurdle to begin with.
