Tire Review...Eagle F1 GS-D3

Clicky

I ended up getting these after all was said and done...would've cost me ~$600 for the set of 4 (245/50ZR16) if I hadn't been the KING of battery sales for Nissan's S.E. Region.

Anyhoo, wet traction with these things is simply awesome! Granted, I probably have the least HP of all the cars on here, but I could roll into the throttle in 3rd gear with the Nitto 450's when they were brand new and break it loose. It won't even break traction in standing water on a 1-2 speedshift now.

Dry traction straightline is on the upper side of good, and cornering traction is excellent. I've never been a fan of Goodyear tires, but these are worth checking out if you've got the extra money kicking around.

And yes, Brian, I'll put 'em up against your NT555's.

I have always hated Goodyear tires....someone spits on the road and you're all over the place! However when I had my F150 Lightning clone with the 18's I ran the F1 tires and was very impressed with them...except for the price that is

My f1's also did well. They just wore out to fast

I think you're ahead of at least one guy here

you're more than welcome to try...if you can stand the constant water drips on your leg and shoulder.

But all I can do is make 'em spin just a turn, maybe two, then they grab.
