Any one running the Eagle F1 GS-D3? What are your thoughts on them with this car?
I'm considering them for a replacement of the Conti's. I would like to choose a realative "quiet" tire with a good dry/wet grip trade-off and not go the all-season or lower performance tire route.
I do not track this car and would like to expect at least 12k out of my tires with proper care.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Great tire - 26,000 miles on rears and counting....
Watch out for potholes though - the fronts bulge and need replacement at between $200 & $300 a corner...
Buy road hazard insurance...
I use tiresavings...
Great grip and inspires confidence!
Best wishes,

I also loved them on the road. Wet and dry. excellent tire....
My milage was shortened to one summer because I tracked them. Remember, they are only good for three seasons- no winter use recommnended. I have had no pot hole problems but they do have a bit softer sidewall for sure.

Mine arrive tomorrow, but heard about the bubbling....
if you hit a bad pothole. I got Road Hazard Protection from Tire Rack to be safe.
Gets good reviews and I'm hoping to get 20k out of them. I got 40k out of my stock Conti's.

I've had 2 pair
Very good tire for the money. Dry and wet grip is excellent. I have not had any problems with the sidewalls but I don't encounter many potholes. If you want something with tougher sidfewalls, look at the S-03. Their downside is they get noisy after about 2/3 of their tread wears down. They are also heavy.
