Default Goodyear Eagle F1

Would this option work good on 03 track wheels? I wanted to go with bridgestones, but these are on special and I've heard nothing but good things about them.

Fantastic tire! I put a set on 18" Nismos last month and they're awesome. Car rides sooo much better in every situation. Sticky as hell and handle road bumps/imperfections light years better than the stock Bridgestone 040's they replaced. Get 'em, you'll love them! BTW, they look great too!

Plenty of critiques about these tires in the tire forum.

And yes. Test results from magazines such as Consumer Reports and Car & Driver put these in the Top-5 of all performance tires.

For handling, race with me at Frederick Stadium, MD on April 21 & 22. Autocross sponsored by CDC. See http://www.capitaldrivingclub.com/ for details.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 is just a great tire for the Z. I recently put these on my Z, and absolutely love them.

-They "stick like glue" on dry roadways, and run exceptionally well in the rain.
-The Eagles are very quiet (unlike the stock Bridgestones).
-The tire has a more flexible sidewall than most performance tires, and it gives the Z a much better ride without compromising handling.

NOTE: If you buy this tire, get both front and rear. The Eagle doesn't mix well with different tires front to rear since it has a more flexible sidewall.

Ideal and best handling is always going to be replacing all 4.

I was thinking of putting 255/40/18 Rear and 235/40/18 Front. What size did you get for your nismos. Plus I think the potenza's are a better looking tire.

They're on special right now at tire rack, I don't know if they are to be discontinued.
