Default Have any of you heard of Evo-Z Tires?

Hi guys, I'm new and was searching for tires when I came across these Evo-Z tires made by Kelly tires (A company owned by Goodyear).

Supposedly, they are a rebadged version of the Goodyear's GS-D2, but without the price tag and goodyear name.

"The Evo-Z tire, available in 21 sizes, has a UTQG rating of 420 AA/A..."

Here's the link from the manufacturer

Here's a review I found, but it's very brief

Here's an ebay link for them

Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks!

I've been happy with mine.

This is my first high performance car, and thus first set of high performance tires, so my experience is only general. They grip well, seem to wear well, and give plenty of notice around corners that you're reaching limits.

I think they look cool. And, the price was good.

lol it is, but i'm surprised how unnoticed the thread went. Plus, with all that time gone by, i'm sure theirs more to be said. I haven't owned a set of either tires, but they sort of do look identical. And to find a set of the EVO-Z's on ebay for about $50 cheaper than a single GS-D3 when they're both made by the same manuf., you just have to wonder!

Alright, well after reading a little about it, seems that they changed the names around just a bit. Found this, "Kelly is partnered with Goodyear. The Evo-Z is the Goodyear F1-GSD-2 - precurser to the F1-GSD-3. When the "3" came out, they just continued to make the "2" under the Kelly name as a low cost alternative in the low profile segment." Now they are called "Fierce UHP" on their site.
