gs-d3 is better, in pretty much every possible way, including the way the tread looks. read: http://www.caranddriver.com/article....ticle_id=10252

I'm sure many have or had the Potenza RO 050A from the premium pkg 19" rims and I'm sure many will say it lacks performace on dry track. IMO, tires just weren't gripping the road as well as I hope they would. As for wet conditions, haven't really had the chance to test since it hasn't rained hard enough here. I kno Dunlop doesn't have the sport A2 for 24-/--/19, but if they did, I'd get those. Those suckers can hug the ground like no other!
