I would only consider GY or Nitto, The nitto drag set up would be better traction but the GY gets me a higher speed rating needed for mile & 1.5 mile shoot outs, you always needed to be in the right place & time to get GY rears, now maybe that is true for fronts

I want to go with the PSS when I get new rubber but the widest they come in for an 18" size is 285....If I stay with Michelins it will have to be the PS2's. Might be a trend with the wider rubber only coming in 19" or higher. Even Michelins new Pilot Sport AS/3 only goes up to a 285 in 18".

I appreciate everyones' input but I really wasn't looking for tire reviews. So, Please allow me to rephrase the question: does anyone either have or know where to get a new pair of either 275/40-17 or 285/40-17 Eagle F1 GS-D3s?

Summit has them listed on Ebay. 2 available. Suggest you get down on it.

Thanks Daryll! Sho nuff, they have 2, but they're asking over $110 more apiece than Tire Rack wants for front Michelins. Their price is actually $65 over MSRP!! Clearly, they know they have something rare. I do want them but I'm not willing to go that far. Thanks again for taking the time to look for me.

I did hear back from GY yesterday and they said only that they do not have a "firm production date" for the GS-D3s. They're still refusing to say "discontinued" which I guess is good news.

The eBay price might not be the actual summit price. Usually prices on eBay are higher to account for the listing fees and final auction value fee. So maybe a call to summit directly and the tires might be cheaper. Just a thought.

Good thought. I checked Summit's website and you're right, they're listing them on there for $43 less...still crazy but a little better. Interesting thing is that on their website, they're quoting a ship date 3 weeks out and when you begin checkout, it tells you that this product "ships direct from manufacturer". I guess their eBay listing needs to be updated, as I don't think they really have 2 in stock.

ask for dates, they may be old if last 2 on the planet

Just heard back from Goodyear. According to the "brand manager", they are planning on putting F1 GS-D3s back into production in "late summer or early fall."
