What Tires?
Ok, after flat spotting my front tires at El Toro, I need new ones. It is street driven mostly, but am trying to autocross soon.
Right now I have Goodyear F1 GS-D3 front and back.
245/40/r17 & 315/35/r17.
Well now Goodyear doesnt make the F1 in a 245/40, only 245/45. So I need a tire that I can get in a 245/40, and also a 315/35.
Any suggestions, I am looking at tire rack tonight.Mike

Unfortunately, the flat spot is down past the tread depth.
I am looking into Nitro tires now.Mike

Nitro? or Nitto?

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Don't ask me, Toyo R888 is the only tire I know. RA-1 before that. Havent run anything else in 8 years. Probly not a good idea if its your daily driver tho.

Nitto makes the invo in those sizes. And its a 220/260 tread wear which is almost perfect for the events like el toro

I really like the nitto nt05. Good all around and has decent treadware.
The price is right too.Ryan Press

Well after a long search, I think I got the last two GS-D3 tires in America. Should be back up and running Thursday.
I am going to be looking at Nitto and Toyo for the future.Mike
