Default GS-D3's?

I'm looking for a set of goodyear eagle f1 gs-d3's in a 275/40/17. The goodyear plant doesn't have any in stock and my local supplier can only get a set from california (I'm from south-western ontario) and the shipping costs are insane. Does any one know where I can get a set?

Im pretty sure they stopped making them, dunno if they are going to start making them again, but they have been on backorder for a while.

Right now on Tirerack.com they are listed as Low Stock. So they might have some. Last time I checked though, it said they were on backorder till the 16th of this month.

Are you sure you don't have it reversed??

I have Eagle F1 GS D3's in 285/40/17s, and they won't hook worth a damn when cold. If its below about 45 degrees, forget about it. If I shift to 2nd too fast, the *** end will just go all over the road.

When its warm out they are awesome. I can nail the throttle in 1st from a stop and the tires will just grab, no spinning at all. Shift to 2nd and they will break loose for a second or 2, and then hook up again.
