goodyear dsg3's

I just wore out my stock tires (they got so thin it sarted leaking thru the edge of the tread) 18,600 miles the last 600 miles was kind of fun it was like having slicks. dropped 1k on a set of gs d3 from a local tire guy (I colud have saved 100 bucks at tire rack but I like this guys service) I'll post a note after I get them broken in. They do have a cool, aggressive tread pattern.

www.treadepot.com has them for $173ea. I just got a set myself. They hook better than the stock ones, and great traction in the rain.

http://www.svtcobraclub.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=6601 good pictures of the tread on that post...

I am also looking into getting these tires... I wonder how they handle.(open track) and how they compare to the KDW's

new skins

they do hook up better than the stock units and feel much more sure footed in the rain. I just don't smoke my tires as much as when I first got this beast. I have bcome a better user of my 500 hp/500 ft lbs tq and I'm waisting less rubber I also got my new strut tower bar from kenney brown to fit over my kenne bell blower I'm gonna put it on next week. I was at the kenne bell site yesterday they got 700.15 hp/715 rwt with an 04 running 25 lbs of boost and no nitrous on their tune...What a rush that must be!!!

I had the GS-D3's on my Formula WS6. If wish they would have swapped them (with 6,000 miles) at trade in with the brand new one's that came on my Cobra.

They are a MUCH superior tire.
