Default Goodyear tires

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3.

I'm thinking of getting those for my regular 18" wheels. As much as I'd love to just run around on drag radials all the time, I don't want to have to buy new tires every month...

From what I have read on other forums those tires have the best traction out there, except for drag radials and slicks... but thought I'd check if any of you have first hand experience with them...

Many 2003 Cobra owners use these and love them. I personally would not because they are expensive. If I were you I would just go with Nitto Drags. They will last a long time....I have had mine for 2 summers now, with a lot of track time. BFG drag radials will wear out before you blink an eye...so don't get those.

Lars, those are the exact tires I was going to buy for my car,but my "tire guy" talked me out of it. Not because they're bad tires,but because they wern't the right tire for what I was looking for in a tire. I want the same thing you do,a good everyday all around tire for normal everyday driving. I've got DR's for the track too. He told me to go with either BFG KDWS or TOYO Proxes 4's

Not sure what I'm going to buy yet.
