Brettski is your man to talk to about tyres as he's a tyre fitter by trade, i know he does rate them very highly though!!!

They are very very very soft though! mate did 3k road miles on his dropped 60mm and they were toast. Pretty sure the tracking was sorted but camber was left.

i would say thats pretty normal if the camber is like that

my dad used to have these on his vr6 (2weeks ago) very good tyres lasted quite a while. but apparently they dont make them anymore! so he had to go for firestones instead, and that was a few places saying that

they still make em but they have changed from the GSD3 directional pattern to a new asymetrical tread pattern

i had them on my evo, very good tyre, so also have them on my Nova but not driven that yet

Great in the wet, now discontinued & replaced with a diff tread design.

Uniroyal Rain sports a good alternative if it comes down to price.

so he went from having good tyres on (even though they were worn lol) to utter dog turd in one easy step... tyre fail

GSD3s are alright; I've not tried asymetrics but they are supposed to be a very good tyre according to Evo magazine a few years ago.
