Very expensive and don't last very long though, I got exactly what I expected. I like them but I think I'll try the Eagle F1 GS-D3s next.

i have eagle fi gs d3's and i couldn't be happier, they seem to hold very well in the rain and are almost always dead hooks on the street, never been to the strip but i'd imagine a dead hook every time. very sexy tread pattern as well with gobs and gobs of tread.

I moved this thread to the Wheels & Tires section where is belongs more than in the New LS1 Owners - Newbie Tech section.
