From three of the world's best roads to your most important ones - the roads you experience them on! The Eagle F1 GS-D3 is Goodyear's Max Performance radial that was developed in Europe for driving enthusiasts around the world who want more performance from their factory stock or aftermarket tuned sports cars, sporty coupes and performance sedans.
On the outside, Eagle F1 tires feature Goodyear's AAtrax tread compound molded into a distinctive wet weather racing-derived OneTRED directional tread design. And while the AAtrax tread compound's name emphasizes the fact that the Eagle F1 GS-D3 earns the highest "AA" Uniform Tire Quality Grade wet traction rating, Goodyear's OneTRED design combines three distinct patterns in the tread design to enhance dry and wet performance. A solid and continuous center zone maintains constant road contact to enhance straight-line tracking and initial steering response. Next, sweeping intermediate power transfer bridges use "virtual rib" technology to emulate racing slicks by delivering shoulder-to-shoulder tread contact to further enhance steering response and dry road cornering traction. Then sweeping aquachannel grooves, which are three times longer than the tire's contact patch, angle forward and out to the edges of the tread to avoid trapping air and water between the tire and the road to reduce noise while enhancing wet traction and hydroplaning resistance. And finally, the virtual ribs flow into the shoulder area to form long, stable shoulder blocks to grip the road during cornering and help resist the wear associated with aggressive driving.
On the inside, twin high-tensile steel belts are reinforced with spirally wound nylon to distribute the vehicle's load across the tire's footprint to provide high-speed durability and uniform ride qualities. Slightly angled body ply construction with high ply turn ups enhance steering precision and high-speed stability while exterior sidewall rim flange protectors help guard wheels from curb damage.
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires feature subtle black letters reversed out of a stylized black sidewall, and are available in a wide range of V-, Z- or Y-speed rated sizes in 55-, 50-, 45-, 40-, 35- and 30-series sizes for 15" through 21" rim diameters.

This is an excelent wet/dry tire. They seem to just as good in the dry as in the rain. They have a very thick rim guard to protect yur rims from curbs.

Pros:
With normal driving these tires feel okay, but so does every other tire on the market
Cons:
After 1 track even these tires were complete toast
These tires were the biggest heep of crap that I have ever seen. I shreaded the tred off of one tire in 1 track day!!! Do not buy these tires if you ever plan to go to the track. The sidewalls seem very weak also.
