Hey everyone, its time for a tire change. My tires are beyond bald; they are the stockers with 25,000 miles on them. It is looking like I will have around $700-$800 to spend on new tires. What I have been really interested in is the Eagle F1 GS-D3s. Problem is, I can't seem to find them anywhere, at least not in the size I need. I don't really have the money to put on four a set of different rims, so right now I am stock with the 235/55-16s. Is my hunch correct? If they do make them in the stock z28 tire size, I can't seem to find them anywhere. If I am SOL, does anyone know another really good tire I can get for around the previously mentioned budget? Or where I can pick up a really cheap set of rims to put some GS-D3s on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

called Goodyear just now...not available from any warehouse. Production is in progress...it will be quite some time

 

Ugh, not what I needed to hear. Any recommendations on type of tire to go with?

 

Isn't the stock tire size a 245/50/16? My local Goodyear store was able to round up four 275/40/17s. Have you checked the above tire size?

 

Yeah, you are right on the tire size.

 

Weird. I just got them this weekend. I was in the same boat as you, stock tires with 16k miles. Anyways, I called up a local tire place (small chain) and they wanted a lot more than discounttiredirect.com, so I told em' I would think about it. I didn't even notice they were out of stock at discount tire. They asked me if I saw them cheaper, I told them where, they matched the price, got the tires for me in 3 days and put them on. This place is a VA/MD store and supposedly they really didn't want to match dicount tires price because its so unbelievably cheap, but finally they caved since they knew I would order from them anyway. Guess they didn't care/know that they were out of stock. I guess I got real lucky.
EDIT If you do get them, there's a $75 gas card you get free with the purchase. The rebate form is on goodyears website, or discounttiredirect if you buy from them. You have to buy 4 tires.

 

I have a set of Eagle F1 GS-D3, P245/50ZR 16
I put less than 1000 miles on them no curb bruses and tread is like new, in you want I can take a pic of the depth gauge to show how much tread is left, I paid over 700 bux us for the set. I just went up to 18's same type tire, PM me if interested,
450.00 you pay shipping, about 13 bux per tire
these have never been patched or plugged,
I just paid 320 a pop each for 275/35/18 yikes

 

Hello,do you still have those 16"D3s for sale? Let me know.


Thanks

 

Yes, call around to local tire shops. Almost all of them will meet whatever online price you can show them. It's a little more work, but it may payoff if you can get the tires sooner.

Good luck.

 

Mine should have come in today. Got them from a local Discount Tire but it was tough to get them. The guy had to call around to a lot of places to find someone that would cough them up, if they even had them in the first place. Ended up getting 2 from Texas, and 2 from Charlotte.
