Default $163.00/each for new 295/35/18s @ TR
I just purchased a pair of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 for $163 each plus shipping @ Tire Rack. Seemed too good to pass up and my rears on my Z06 are rapidly becoming banana skins.

Just thought I would pass it along...

Just received mine this afternoon. Great deal... I was told by a local tire dealer that the GS-D3 is being discontinued...

Glad y'all found the deal to your liking. :-)

Stock fronts are 265-40s ... think that is what is on mine now. But I only needed rears right now.

The GS-D3's don't come in 265/40ZR17, which is really ok, because in that size, C5's are more prone to understeer. I plan to get the 275/40R17 for the fronts...

Sorry for your loss bro. Might be worth picking up an extra set at this price... they are going fast.

On another note...my ship date from my closest warehouse kept getting pushed back, so I called back and paid $10 extra to ship from South Bend, IN. Didn't want to lose out... Just in case some of you were also waiting on your estimated ship date to roll around.
I was told mine would ship today now that I changed my ship from warehouse...

Cool... my order is now showing "YOUR ORDER HAS BEEN RELEASED TO THE WAREHOUSE FOR SHIPPING."

... Hopefully the 275/40/17s will be blown out soon too... even though my fronts still have 6/32s.

I just received my F1's today.

I ran 275's with 295's in the rear...I wouldn't recommend it.
