Ready to purchase some Goodyear GS-D3's... best price?

[Uncle Meat]

Here's what I'm in the market for:

2 ea. Goodyear GS-D3 245/45YR17
2 ea. Goodyear GS-D3 315/35YR17

http://www.tiresavings.com wants $1014.37 for the tires including shipping.

http://www.tirerack.com wants $986.27 for the tires including shipping.

http://www.discounttiredirect.com wants $980.00 for the tires including UPS shipping.

Any other places you guys can think of that may offer a better deal?

U.M.

I work for a dealer and we have an account at www.tirerackwholesale.com $916.87 shipped for that setup. If you know anyone at a dealer, see if they can hook you up.

That's the same setup I put on my wife's Cobra. FANTASTIC tires.

After some research (both local & internet) I purchased my GS-D3's thru Tire Rack. I was happy with both their price and service. I made the deal in Dec. Here is a picture of my 99 Cobra with new GS-D3 tires.

Great tires, I went through tirerack myself. I'm running 285/40/17's out back and 255/40/17's up front. UM, you may want to keep in mind if your still running factory stock rims that the width is actually 9.5" wide and 245 /45s may be a little too small. I have the AFS 17x9's in the front and with the 255/40's it appears about the limit without causing the rim edge stick out.

No worries on the rims dude! I currently have a set of the AFS 17X10.5's that my Nitto 315's are mounted on. I purchased a set of 3/8 inch hubcentric spacers & extended reach lug nuts from Lightning Force Performance...

...and a set of low profile IRS subframe bolts from Maximum Motorsports.

Now all I need to do is get the new tires on order!

Tirerack, but see if they will at least meet or beat your lowest bid they like to win your bis.

Have a set of these tires on my Cobra with 18 inch rims and love them. You'll be very happy once you get a chance to try them out.

I got my t1's from discounttiredirect. If I knew the GSD3's were that much I would have gone with those. I think I spent 750 w/shipping. Maybe a mention of the websites will get you a discount. I know mustang tuning gave me a discount on my wheels for being a corral member. Good luck, let us know how they work, I'm gonna need some rears this year, can't seem to keep them from spinning chris

I've had these tires on 2 different cars, both with 315's. My TT cobra spins them pretty bad, regular driving around town their OK, just don't down shift . I'd say great for 320 down, anything else NO! They are a good tire, just not for sprited driving.

Very nice. I've been thinking about a new wheel/tire combination for mine. Please advise as to what you are running. Be specific with regard to any required mods to run the setup. Thanks.

I needed no mods for my 99 Cobra.. I got the 17x9 chrome FR500 wheels from Wheel Replicas (they are on the internet) and I got
275/40YR-17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires from The Tire Rack.
I also have 1 inch spacers on the back wheels ..

Hey U.M.!

Howdy!
You're gonna love the GS-D3's! Best tires I've ever owned, and they look awesome as well.
Fwiw....bought mine from Chris@DTD. Super nice guy and really took care of me before, during, and after the sale. Had a little problem after the sale, and he really stepped up and made things right. Speaks volumes, imho....
Feel free to pm me for the details!
