BF Goodrich G Force KDs on my Amolds and Goodyear Eagle F1 DS D3s on my sawblades. Both have been great tires. I like the BFGs a little better than the Goodyears.

Since my last post, 9/7/08, I have purchased the Kumho Ecsta XS. I had them mounted on the car for the trip to BG for the Gathering this year. Tire handled well in both wet and dry weather. It was a little noisy, but I don't drive the car much anyway, so I didn't mind. Autocrossed it in BG and we started in wet weather, ended in dry. The tire was responsive and predictable. I'm typically a Goodyear Tire guy, but I will keep these on the ZR-1 for a while. I also think they look pretty good on the car as well, much better than the Sumitomos.

I just got a set of Nitto NT-01s for my A-molds and boy do the smell like

! I've read this on other forums but was very surprised at how much they do smell. I'll have some drive time data in a couple weeks but for now the look is 1000% better than the Sumitomos.

I may try the Nitto NT-555 next, would love to see a pic of 315 in rear on a car.

I'll take a few pictures after work. I compared the section width to the GS-D3s and they're slightly smaller; 12.48 inches to 12.6 inches. The set of Nitto's were $500 cheaper than GYs including the $100 rebate GY has going right now.
