Just wondering if anyone has experienced the Goodyear F1 GS-D3's yet. It's either those, or a new set of KDW's. Or, anything else that I should be looking at? For the record, I don't participate in any autocross events. Feedback & opinions are welcome. Thanks! 1998 E1 SVT - Toreador Red Production #4794 of 6535 Build date: 2/25/1998

They arent exactly what you are looking for (they are all season) but they are pretty quiet, good wet, dry, and appearantly (Ill find out this winter) they are good in the snow (again, I know you dont care). They are pretty sticky, but I havent pushed them to their limits yet. They are also very cheap. From tirerack.com, I paid IIRC, ~$75 per tire. I didnt see any other tires that offered their perfomance for that price. Anyway, read the reviews on tirerack.com. They are very helpful. . . I posted that in this thread a couple of weeks ago. . . http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=wheels&Number=349398&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1 Like I said, I am very very happy with these tires. Great wet and dry performance and they are cheap too. If you check out tirerack.com you will see that they have great reviews there too. . . . #4559 of 6535 born on Feb 17, 1998 Black 1998.5 CSVT FOR SALE [cleaning house]: SVT rear swaybar.

Quieter and more comfy than the original g-force KDWs and performance wise, I can't see the difference. They also look better (pic in my sig.).

I have a dedicated set of winter tires (BFG Winter Slaloms), so I'm really looking for a summer-only tire. (Well, from mid-April to mid-November, at least.) 1998 E1 SVT - Toreador Red Production #4794 of 6535 Build date: 2/25/1998
