Thats a pretty good deal. Better than buy 3 get one free.

[Kansei]

damn too bad I'm 215/40/17, which is 138 or 144 depending on th espeed rating. I would probably rub with 215/45. These are the tires I wanted to get next too, and I'm needing new tires soon argh.

[69RMSP]

Can someone compare them to the MSP OE tires? (peep)

[ChopstickHero]

wow, great deal on these, from the reviews they look like awesome tires.

[69RMSP]

Like someone posted in the reviews, it looks like ppl with vw's are having problems with them. I wonder howmuch shipping would be :P

there's a shipping estimator

[djp5]

they're possibly the best max summer tire out there. they won a car and driver test of like 14 tires last year. awesome in wet, solid in dry, and you cant beat that price...makes me wish the tires on my MSP rims were bald!

[Kansei]

Shipping on Tirerack is 40-50 dollars, and depending on where you live it can be very fast. One location that they ship from is in NJ, and the shipping was overnight to CT.

djp5 I read that same car and driver test, and that sold me on these tires. I currently have the Kumho Ecsta MX which I love but considering they did so poorly in the group of 13 of the best tires out there, I should probably look for something else for when they're worn out.

[69RMSP]

This is what I was quoted from the site.

215/45YR17 XL Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3
Blackwall In Stock 4 $95.00 $380.00

SHIPPING METHOD ESTIMATED TRANSIT TIME COST
UPS CANADA STANDARD $65.54

445.54 USD United States Dollars and it came to 509.42 CAD

It aslo said - CANADIAN ORDERS:

* Delivery may be delayed by customs procedures.

I don't know how much extra that is going to be.

Does anyone know how long this deal is suppsoed to go on for?

I saw this sale too and was just going to post about it. I was one click away from getting them before I changed my mind to get the Falken GR Beta FK-451 instead (I got these for $93 each with free shipping). Both tires seem to have comparable wet and dry traction, but the Falken's are lighter :). Were the Falken's in that Car and Driver tire comparison?

Got the GSD3's - thank you Snowman18!!! You da man. I've asked all around and these are THE tires to have.

Oh - and they come with a $40 gift cert on the set as well, and shipping was (well, willya look at that...) $40 for the set, so they came out to $95 shipped, well, sort of, once I "spend" the certificate...

I see this special but it is for the wr's and not the yr's. Is the only diff the speed rating then?

[ping]

We're not going to exceed either "Y" or "W" anyway...

I've had mine for a few hundred miles, pushed them a bit, great tire. Very progresssive, excellent in rain, and fairly quiet (much quieter than the OE B-stones). Less "thwacky", more muted. They don't tramline as much as the OE tires did even when new - you can tell they're a wide tire for their sidewall so they'll still tramline some, but its more muted. Steering response is good, not *quite* as sharp as OE but definitely well inside in the infield of the same ballpark. Part of that is just that I'm running full-tread rather than almost-at-the-wear-bars, because the sidewalls are definitely stiff enough. Ride is good, slightly more on the "nice" side of firm, but still firm (hope that makes sense!)

No feedback on wear, etc. but I'm extremely pleased with the purchase.

[Laser03pro]

Awsome I bet the wr's ride a little better then the yr's also. Whats the speed rating of wr like 168 i exceded that everyday haha wish my protege would go that fast.

[tekkie]

damn they are showing for 88 bucks now, wow that is so cheap

[MrDiggler]

I'm sitting on the fence on these. I have 70% tread left on my Kuhmo 712's. Gonna sleep on it and probably order a set in the morning just to put up until later in the year when I need them. I take it this price is probably not going to last long?

[Laser03pro]

As soon as my rims come in im ordering these I just dont want to till they come in and im sure I have them.

[Newf]

I just ordered a set. 88 each. crazy. Couldn't pass it up. whoever buys my car is going to have nice tires I guess.

[BOOSTR]

I've had mine ever since I rolled 38,115. Currently at 57,000. The still look and ride like new. I prefer them over the OE tires, which were to noisy but gripped well. These tires have not disappointed me yet, wet or dry.

[Newf]

good to know. I got about 20,000kms on my oem tires and I'm down to the wear bars. Friggin noisy. My studs weren't much louder in the winter....not kidding. Looking forward to seeing these on the car. Sexy looking tire.

[Laser03pro]

Woo Hoo just got my 3.5 rims and ordered my tires 389 to my door in 1 business day.

[mspeed101]

Damn I wish I would of seen this thread sooner :(

[atticus1398]

just ordered mine, great deal!

[Laser03pro]

:)

[atticus1398]

how long did it take to go from south bend to cincy?

[Laser03pro]

They got here in 1 day.

[atticus1398]

arrived yesteday.:)

[toysrus]

These tires still available! Ordered mine yesterday along with some 215/40/16 Kumho V710's for autocross!!

[SLC-MSP]

Just in case anybody is unsure of just how good this deal is, I stopped by my local Goodyear Tire Center this morning for a quote. The numbers he gave me on 215/45/17:

Tire alone, each - $179.95
Set of 4 installed - $818.21

Unbelievable! I'm ordering now.

[Laser03pro]

At tire discounters they wanted in the upper 800's for all 4 not sure if those were the w or y's tho still a insane price. I checked the date on my tires they are 2 yrs old maybe these r old stock but I doubt it matters much if they havnt been out in the weather.

[ping]

Darn it - now they're $88 each with a whopping $100 rebate on a set. Net cost woulda been about $73 each, SHIPPED! (shipping was $40 to my house near Pittsburgh... you do the math).

Unbelievable! Great tire too.

[PharmacyMSP]

Just bought mine for $389 shipped. Not including the $100 rebate. Good looking out Snow. (thumb)

[Black_Protege_5]

What is the difference between the XL and non XL? Is it the Rim protection?

[atticus1398]

not sure, but the ones i got on sale have the rim protect

[jmv]

MAN this is an amazing deal. I've got some yoko AVS E100s right now... the fronts have been on for about 8K miles. Do you think if i bought these tires now and left em in my garage that they'd be okay once its time for a change?? This is just an amazing deal!!

keep them sealed and bagged up and they'd probably be ok. I dunno what the shelf life of tires is.

One problem though, is there a rebate that makes these tires a great deal? I got Bridgestone Potenza RE750s on TireRack when they were on sale and the rebate offer ended 2 days after I got the tires and had them mounted. Bridgestone required proof of tire mounting for all 4 tires to be eligible for the rebate.

[Laser03pro]

My tires were 2 yrs old alrdy check the date on the tires.

[atticus1398]

the clock starts ticking the day the tires are made. so they actually start dry rotting from day 2. my boss ,who used to run a tire shop, said to keep them in the basement (cool/dry)with a piece of cardboard between the floor and tires. no need to bag each one. and they should be ok. but i guess thats why we got such a good deal. mine are old too according to the dot #.

[Blitzd]

I have these tires, they are the shiz, wonderful tire.

heh, no cool/dry place in texas (we don't have basements around here). I guess i'll just hold off. darn.

[atticus1398]

im half tempted to mount mine too, even though i have another summer left on my potenzas.

[Kooldino]

I got my 215s a few weeks ago for $88 each. Can't beat it.

[arkitek]

Had mine for a month now.
Crazy handling in the wet. Unreal really.
Definitely quieter than stock.
Sidewall is not as stiff as stock so the ride is more supple at the expense of precise steering feel. Car tend to wobble side to side a bit I find when I'm doing quick slalom type driving. Not happy about that.
Could be due to full tread too mind you. Time will tell.
Can't beat if for the price though.

The yr's possibly might have a thicker sidewall.

[mountjonas]

i just put my order in for these right now. they come with a $100 cash card, too. sweet deal. now i just have to decide on what wheels i want to get.

[PharmacyMSP]

I think the cutoff the the $100 cash card was the 17th. Might want to double check that. (yupnope)

nope. it got extended to the 24th. i got a confirmation email this morning regarding the cash card.(first)

[Laser03pro]

I dont remember anything about getting a cash card when did that start I was thinking of getting winter tires from them.

[mountjonas]

I'm not sure when it started, but it ended today. I saw a post here that they were on sale at tirerack and when I was browsing Nasioc, luke from tirerack posted that the deal got extended and that the $100 cash card was included so I had to order.

[Swerny]

To the Canadians who ordered these or who have ordered from Tire Rack, how badly did UPS rape you on brokerage & fees?

Thanks

http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/goodyear/gy_eagle_f1_gsd3_ci2_l.jpg

I loved these tires! Put 27000 miles on them in 10 months.

[mountjonas]

mine just came in today. well, two of them did. the others should arrive tomorrow. my springs came as well as my wheels. now all i need are my lugs and to have everything installed.

[Laser03pro]

Even though these are a great deal I kinda wish I got the 40 series instead of the 45 cause now my ES speedo will be off and my rear tires might rub cause my car is alrdy pretty low in the rear with the prokit.

[Laser03pro]

Well I just checked a speedo calculator it only throws it off by about 3 mph so thats not bad but they are a inch taller. between 195/50/16 and 215/45/17
