Default The Goodyears.........

Actually, the initial ride of the 40 profile seems smoother than the 45 profile stock tires - maybe because they're wider...I don't now. The traction now is definitely stickier - cool! I'll know a little more after a week or two of driving. The F1 GS-D3 tire was highly rated in both dry & wet traction, wear & road noise...we'll see. I do know I love the look of the tread - pretty wild - ha!

I love your setup.
I have LM-GT4 with Goodyear F1 GS-D3 too.
those work very well together. and very aggresive tread design. I love it.

It's all your fault! I went a got a set of Nismo LM-GT4's and the Goodyear F1 DS-G3's. Your photo of the rear tire gave me the idea of doing a side-by-side photo comparison of mine.

It's a major difference in looks, ride, quietness, and handling. I pick them up during the install and could believe how much lighter the new combo was. Thanks for helping me decide to do it.

Photo below.
