GS-D3 or SZ50

Those are the two choices I've come down to. It's hard to pass up the Tirerack special on the Goodyears right now, but I have heard good things about the Firestones.

Any final impressions about these two tires?

Thanks.

GS-D3's the SZ50's like to turn gummy/greasy during spirited driving.

THE SZ50 ARE ONE OF THE BEST HANDLING TIRES I HAVE RUN ON MY CAR. THEY R SOFT BUT WET AND DRY HANDLING CANT BE BEAT

Re: GS-D3 or SZ50

Is there no more input from the tire cognoscenti? Any more opinions, experiences, observations, etc.?

I have had both. I am currently running the D3's and I love them. Great in both the dry and the rain.

Re: GS-D3 or SZ50

Barry 94Formula, have you noticed any differences in ride comfort and road noise between the two?

Thanks.

Re: GS-D3 or SZ50

I ran the SZ50's on my old TT2's and was very happy with them; never was able to make it to the track with them tho. They are a little on the soft side.
