ive heard they are the best in the rain, but curious on how it will hold up compared to star specs/re01r's/re11's/ps2's/azenis and so on.

im gonna need a new set of tires for spring, im gonna use whatever i buy on the dragon and for performance purposes.

Looks like a Goodyear GSD3 cut in half.


And... if I'm looking at it correctly, the right tire is mounted incorrectly or the blue graphicly-added arrow is incorrect.

Those tires have been around for a while - they are (or at least were) popular with the 350Z guys...I have never heard anything bad about them.

There is an STi that comes to my shop with tires that look incredibly similar to those ( I don't remember their name, so I am not sure). I have no idea how the grip is, but they wear like garbage. Within 5k miles the insides were chopped so bad that it sounded like a lifted truck at any speed over 20mph.
