[QUOTE="flyn high again, post: 3508710, member: 9555"] Good thread for tire buyers. Bingo 13 especially has some informative comments. I'll add some info from my experiences. I've used GSD3s and I think they are good [I]street[/I] tires. They are OK in the dry and great in the rain. They won't hook like drag radials but they will last a couple years with moderate driving. I wanted the car to hook better so I recently bought the M/T drag radials. Let me tell you, these mofos really, really hook on dry pavement. With a slightly modified Cobra you can punch the car in 1st gear with 0 wheel spin and a great launch. I wish I could end this paragraph right here but... The M/Ts are dangerous in rain. As with most sticky tires with next to no tread, the M/Ts are a challenge to drive over 40 mph in the rain. NOT RECOMMENDED for wet weather driving. If you do get caught unexpectedly in rain, be extremely cautious. The 2nd downside to these tires is that they are TOO sticky for the street. I have a few hundred miles on them and they are starting to come apart. They have developed a sand paper type surface and little chunks of rubber are coming off them during normal driving [no burnouts]. I'm going to have to remove them and put them aside for track only duty. Too bad because they hook better than any tire I've ever used. Used as a street tire, they also wallow around some because of the soft sidewalls [especially at higher speeds or when making lateral moves]. Great for the track, unfortunately not so great for the street... Keep the comments coming because I need to buy a couple of street tires that will hook reasonably well, yet last a while and give decent rain performance. :beer: [/QUOTE]
