Default Tires

Hey!

I might be getting some new wheels and i wanted some voice on the "best" tires to get now-a-days. From what ive looked at the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 get pretty good ratings, But what do you guys think?

Thanks for the read!

I had terrible luck with the GSD3s. They have incredibly soft sidewalls and that is not what you want for our terrible roads (pot holes/expansion joints). I am running Kuhmo MXs now and haven't had any issues.

What size tire are you looking to get?

those F1's are also kinda like kumho ectsta supra 712's in that they seem to measure the tire width at the rim protector...the tire tread is not the full advertised width.

Very nice tires indeed. But they are a ultra high performance summer tire only.
