Any luck with 275 F1 GS-D3s?
The 275 Goodyears are still on "nationwide allocation" and GY doesn't seem to want to produce them. Seems peculiar to me, since most C4s could wear that size all around, but I digress. Anybody had any luck finding them?

Re: Any luck with 275 F1 GS-D3s?
I have a nice set on my car now that were manufactured in 2009. They have around 2k miles on them. They will be removed and stored very soon for future NCRS events only.
Just bought a new set of nitto's and very anxious to see how much differentlt the car rides. IMHO the GY tires provide a harsh ride on a Corvette. I always use to put BFG tires as they provide a softer ride. This time I couldn't find a size correct set of BFG's so I decided to try the nitto's. |

Re: Any luck with 275 F1 GS-D3s?
David swears by the Pilot Sports.. To date Ive tried
Falkins (fronts only however incrediable tread wear rating) GY F1 D3s GS BFGs Sumitomos (crap) So far the best by far has been the GYs. After this set prob Nitto's. HTF a good 315 Tire.

My Pilot Sports have been great. I have nothing to compare them to. Very sticky, I have a hard time breaking them loose.

I know, I totally trust David and he loves his Michelins. They are just SOOO expensive, though.

Re: Any luck with 275 F1 GS-D3s?
Yeah, Tire Rack has the rears but not the fronts. I've been wanting some ever since the first time I saw my car next to yours; they're the same section width, but your F1s APPEAR so much wider than my Sumis.
