My opinion is GS-D3's. They just look so aggresive, but I'm going with a ***** looking Sumitomo just because I never drive my car, so my wallet says $119 > $271.

I've got Nittos on all of my cars except for the orange car. Went with some BFG G-Force KDW tires (new style) and the tread pattern kicks ***!

They are also quieter on the road than my Nittos.

i do not like the sumitumo's i have them on my car and they look at widest a 295...there is about 1" on each side that doesn't even touch the ground...so it's about a 275 tread width tire...now i do have to say now that i have about 500 miles on them they are starting to use .5" more on each side...but this is just how they are designed...the outermost block of tread tappers off...i don't know if i'll buy them again...they were like 350 for both the rears mounted and balanced...so that is cheap!! for a 315/35/17 tire...i think the gs-d3's are the best looking fattest 315 you can get...post up all the 315/35/17 tires that are made i'd like to know what my choices are...hopefully somethign else will come out or prices will drop from now until the time i need them
here are some pics of the 315 gs-d3's https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...heels+ws6+.jpg

If you're referring to the ones I just posted those are Dunlop Sport 5000.
Sumitomo's look pretty damn big to me and according to Tire Rack they are wider than GS-D3's. Tire Rack specs say that GS-D3's are 12.3" and Sumitomo's are 12.6"
