...anyone have any ideas or pics of 245 / 275 combo Goodyear F1 GS-D3s,
on stock 5-spokes ??

 

You wont like them...traction isn't as good and they get noisy...Michelin is the best hands down...I tested the Toyo as well.

I used to own a tire shop...Teh only other choice in my mind would be Pirelli...but the Michelin wins the tests...read the Mags when it comes to it...

...but is anyone running them ?
I'm just asking for the look/see !!

 

here are some pics of my stock rears after 10k miles. Also, keep in mind when I ordered the new tires I went and baked my tires doing donuts for a good 2 or 3 minutes straight. However, this is pretty much how they looked before I did the donuts.

 

Holy Crap !
Are those the "stock" Bridgestones ??
Is this what I have to look forward to ??

 

haha yup those are the stock rear bidgestones after 10k miles. Keep in mind though, I am a "spirited" driver.

 

My pilots are no better after 16k km which is 10k miles. I haven't ordered new yet.

 

Highly spirited, I might add !!

 

Personally I'd go for the balloon look.. Helps vs. an "accidental" curb. My 205s have prevented plenty o' scrapings in my driving (I drive quite a bit per day).

 

My tires look just like MikeStarrG35, except I have almost 20k miles on them. Keep in mind that I'm not exactly a pwhipped driver or anything, but about 70% of it was freeway.

 

U got any normal shots of the G with the wider tires? I just wanna see what they look like on the car a few steps back.

 

Nope, I took those in a hurry and it is raining outside now. When the rain stops I'll open up the garage and take some shots.

 

yo, if you think his rears are bad you should see mine, I dont' even have a groove left on the inside. I have a set of Fk 452s sitting in my living room, they'll be going on tuesday and I can take some pics. I went with 245/35 f and 255/40 r, very close to overall diameter of stock size I believe. BUt reading someones post above kind of wish I went with 245/40, the 35 seems really thin, going to be a rough ride I bet

 

actually the ride isnt as rough as you might think. It hasnt gotten worse than the stock tires at all believe it or not. Atleast that is my experience.

 

OK...still waiting...
I'd still like to see 245 / 275 PS2s on 19-inch 5-spokes !
