Sounds good. When I got these tires, saw they were made in Germany. I believe Goodyear offered these in Europe for a couple years before they were available in the states.

TireRack did some direct testing. Pretty interesting stuff.

Of course, it won't apply directly, since the suspension setup is different, along with the track conditions. Still, interesting stuff.

I've only had my GS-D3s on for a couple of weeks, but I like them so far! They stuck really well during the little bit of rain we had a week ago, and they are really responsive in the dry. They are also pretty smooth-riding for such a low profile tire. I have 215/45-17s.

My Fiance has the F1's on her Mustang...with the GT rims those are hella loud, sounds like were on an airliner at low speeds ...but they were cheap so I didnt complain.
