New Tire recomendations????
I need to buy some new rubber for my 2002 z28. I wanted to get the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3 tires that the car came with but apparently they are very hard to come by. Just wondering if anyone can suggest something similar or just as good as the goodyears.

Personally, I hate Goodyear tires. They are WAY too expensive compared to the others, and they never seem to last very long.
I would reccomend getting some Nitto 555's. The tread life is over 400, and they will hook great in most every wheather condition. Not to mention they are MUCH cheeper than the Goodyears.

The GS-D3's are the best youre going to get for rain performance, however, I cant complain with my Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval's, they are cheaper than the Goodyears and have better wear rating.

What are you looking to use the car for? Daily driver, weekend toy, going to see any strip time? What mods do u have? How much power are u putting to the ground? These are all questions that need to be answered before you can decide what tire you need.

My Formula has Khumo Ecsta Supra tires on it. They handle excellent in the rain and have an extremly high tread life, and best yet they were really cheep. On the downside, they don't hook very well.
My Nitto DR's actually do surprisingly well in the rain (not as good as the Khumo's or probably other regular street tires, but excellent for drag radials), and they hook like a MF, and they were pretty cheep, but the trade off is they don't last long.
Best all round street tire IMO, is honestly the Nitto 555. It has an extremly high tread life, it hooks well in both wet and dry weather, and they won't cost you an arm and a leg.
