I haven't had the best experiences with falkens in the past, but it really does depend on the spec of tyre you go after. I would steer clear of the ziex range for your car. They are ok on smaller cars....Quote:

dunlop sp sport maxx's on now! quiet, and seem to be handling quite well so far.

They are an OK tyre, but within your $150 price range, the GoodYear GSD3 are a far superior tyre in terms of performance.
They also have very good mileage as they have a TWR of 280, which should be good for over 50,000km if you don't abuse em.
Ok i have had my goodyear gs-d3 235/40/18 after 1500kms now and just thought that u guys might want to know that the tyres dont last very long at all, cause after looking at em today iam only expecting 6000-8000kms max and this can be compared to my old gt radial campiros which lasted me 50000kms.
And yes iam running exactly the same camber and settings as i had with the campiros.
And just woundering does anyone here have gs-d3's which are made in Australia? Cause ive heard other ppl getting alot more kms than iam gonna get using them, cause i suspect that since the 18's r now made in Aus the rubber compound is a lot softer to the original germany ones.
are you doing burnouts? :cool:Quote:

even after 2 trackdays (one in the wet admittedly), I could not see significant wear on my set of GSD3s. Mine were made in Australia too.
GT radials are a hard compound, so they will last, but traction/handing is focking horrible.

But yeah the fronts on my cars pretty bad but the backs r still like new, looking at the treadwear it looks like i had a bit too much camber, but this was on the stock struts/spring.
But anyway i put on tein ss coilovers yesterday, and i go for my wheel alignment and camber adjustments tomoz.
But yea like i said iam driving exactly the same way i was when i had the gt radials, i know they r a harder compound but i still didnt expect the gs-d3's to wear so quickly.
Bridgestone S0-3

Awesome grip around corners.
