NTB will beat any local bottom line price on tires if they carry them. And they threw in new valve stems and free rotations even though the price I gave them didn’t include that. ---

> [@turbotalon91](#): > > dn i’m probley rong Nope you are correct. The ZR-1 is getting the 315’s. I can run 335’s with out a problem, but That leaves out the GS D3’s and leaves me only with Michilen’s (sp). And from what I understand the GS D3’s will hook as hard if not harder then DR’s. ---

And from what I understand the GS D3’s will hook as hard if not harder then DR’s. thats not true… the D3 is a good Dry/Wet tire. It won’t hook better than a DR ---

> [@Blue4](#): > > thats not true… the D3 is a good Dry/Wet tire. It won’t hook better than a DR I’ve heard from several ZR-1 owners who run these tires and I’ve been getting the same response from most of them. That is when the tire is new it hooks like a DR. Im sure this doesn’t last long, but for a time that is what I heard. ---

Im sure this doesn’t last long, but for a time that is what I heard. if you want that kind’ve tire, BFG KD. I’m sure the ZR-1 isnt driven in the rain, so no need for the KDW or the GS-D3 But they don’t have much of a wet traction. I’m not knocking the GS-D3, I just like the standard F1 better. ---

It’s either going to be the GS D3’s or the Piloits(sp) next
