My tires were getting to the point of looking like slicks and my freind has a 05 Vette with the same situation so we went out and did the traditional tire roast/video shoot before getting new tires. (Ill post some video when I get it on my computer)

It was raining so I thought it wouldnt be too harsh on the tires and I could wait a few weeks. But afterwards the center of the tires had a nice strip of innards poking through so I had to get new tires today so I didnt get into an accident.

I called the tire place and they had some Dunlop Direzzas for $610 out the door so I did it without researching the tire. Does anyone else have these and how do they perform/last

Those are some nice tires. Frickin' expensive though. Most people will recommend BF goodrich kdw 2's or goodyear eagle f1 ds3's

They were the same price as my Coopers Zeons that I had on there before.

I gave them a little run on a canyon road and they performed quite well.

Those are some excellent tires if you have the coin that is.
Goodyear F1 GS D3's are the best tire I ever put on my mustang period.

$610 out the door. Am I one of the few who figured out this is for 4 tires? A couple of you made comments like - "Frickin' expensive" and "excellent tires if you have the coin that is". What kind of tires are the rest of you running that makes these sound sooo expensive?
BTW, 2003 Geee T - www.tirerack.com has these tires and has extensive info on them, including rating and comparisons.

Well I said "frikin' expensive" because ALL good tires aren't cheap lol. I didn't mean these Dunlops specifically.

Expensive though. I got one hell of a discount and still paid close to $200 a tire (mounted and balanced).

Tires get expensive overtime.
I have Goodyear F1 GS D3's on my mustang.
I payed 270 each tire plus the warranty.
These tires are well worth the money since they have
long tread life and stick to the ground.
