Any other opinions??? Are the nittos any good in wet???

I am planning on buying the gs-d3 since here rains quite a lot and I already had an accident due to it...

I have had the Nittos on for the summer. I am very impressed with them on the street. I went from smoking through 1st and half ways through 2nd; to slight spin in first and chirp into 2nd. The car just hooks up and goes. Although, at the track I still seem to have traction issues with dumping the clutch. As far as wet traction, when the tires were new they were great! Better than my old Cooper Cobras in the rain. Now that I have about 7Kmiles on them and they are down the wear bars already.. they dont have the great wet traction. They hydro plane quite easily but if your going slower they still hook up great for a wet surface. I say get the Nittos, you wont be dissapointed.

Hey, I guarantee you will not be dissapionted in any kind of weather with the Goodyear F1's. They are the best tire I have ever owned, and the only tire I will ever own from now on!

I love my GS D3s! I can launch off idle and immediately go full throttle and not get much wheelspin. Best 60ft so far is 1.99 on them. I know they'll do better too.

My car is bone stock, but based on it's 100mph trap speeds, I'd estimate it's putting out 240-250rwhp.
