Pictures of Eagle F1 GS D3

Here are a few picks of my 2nd set of the Eagle F1 GS D3. I strongly recommend them.

I see a roofing nail in the one tire.

J/K. Every time I have a new set of tires put on a vehicle they attract nails.

Nice looking shoes. How much were they including installation?

I've only been able to compare them to the OEM, but they stick a lot better. I can launch from first full throttle and barely get a chirp out of them. I compared them on Tire Rack to other tires and they always averaged better than others for street driving.

From what I gathered they are great on dry pavement, and very decent on wet pavement. Here in California we don't see much of the wet, but when we do I am confident that I can still open my goat up without a problem.

I really wanted to try the BF KDW-2 but they don't come in my size, so I went back to the Eagle F1's. Goodyear also makes the Eagle F1 Supercar, which I believe come on the Corvettes, Mustang GT500 but they just don't have a very appealing tread pattern. They look like your plain jane Camry tires.

With mounting, balancing and installation they cost me about $900 for the set. The tires themselves are about $220 a piece, but I've seen some shops trying to sell them for $250-$275 just trying to make an extra buck on some poor unsuspecting customer. It's always good to do your homework before you make any type of purchase.

Car and Driver tested those against some others and the Goodyear's came out on top...

Aye, I'm running the GS-D3's now. They grip very well just like the BFG KDW2's, though they ride smoother and are not as loud as the KDW2's.

Even with 285/35/18's out back I can't get traction for crap. I ran 275/35/18 BFG DR's for 33k miles... how I miss them.

Dang. With 30k miles on my BF KDW-2's, I'm due for new shoes. I was very pleased with the BF's, but I might have to try the Eagles!

I actually have those tires on my grand prix...but i wouldn't buy them again because they wear pretty fast (stupid FWD) The tread pattern is pretty B.A.
