Got a set of new tires last week from tire rack. They are goodyear eagle F1 GS-D3's - 255/40/17's on 17x9 rims all the way around. I have put about 500 miles on them and my first impressions are as far as street driving these are WAY better than the yokohama avs sports I had on my car before. The grip is very good and the tires are far quieter and smooth riding. In fact I though my rear wheel bearings were going because of the noise but once I switched the tires that noise was completely gone. I havent had the chance to put them to the test on a track yet but as far as heavy throttle straight take-offs I am getting much better traction than the yokos ever gave me. I will update this thread in a while when I have more data.

BTW my car is a T04S single with about 375rwhp.

 

good to hear man. I also have a T04S but i stuck with the stock wheels and run nitto drags on the rear all the time.

 

That's WHAT I've always wanted to hear! Thanks for the report. Hope to hear more about performance opinion too.
