S55 tires, any suggestions?
Hello. I am sure many in the past have asked this but here it goes anyways. Has anyone tried the Goodyear Eagle F1's on there S55? I have the Pilot Sport's now just looking for new tires soon. Thanks for the help/advice.

I can't say enough bad things about the GSD3's, though I have no experience with the new Eagle F1's (at least I think there's a newer version out...looks different on their website than last year's GSD3's. Bought them and sold them a week later. Sidewall is waaay too soft for a car as heavy as the S55. Dry traction was good, but not even close to my PS1 or PS2's. Since PS2's are impossible to find for our cars, I would suggest the RE050 Pole Positions. I also hear good things about the Yoki's, but treadlife is supposed to be awful.
I've heard guys rave about the GSD3's, but I've never seen anyone rave about them who has 1) driven PS2's and 2) had them on their S55 or equivalent weight car. Just my two pennies worth...you will be mucho disappointed with Goodyear unless they've made some major changes with this new tire.
