Nitto all the way!!! If you are going the cheap route, look into Nexen N3000s. They are a pretty good tire and they look great. I can't believe someone likes fuzions... my dad runs a tire shop and we absolutely HATE them. We tried a set on a very nice BMW... you could literally hear the tires before you could see the car. DO NOT BUY FUZIONS. I had some on my 97 GT when I got it. They had great tread but were all marred up for no reason at all. Needless to say I put them on my coupe for a few days and spun them until they were bald. That's all they are good for, and barely did ok at that. When I made the swap over to Nexens it was night and day difference. I also ran some Nitto 315s my buddy had for a little while, and they were great.

I've never had any of those problems with the Fuzions on my 90.

After talking to a few other guys down this way, Summer tires make more sense since this car will not see the bad weather. Seems like the Nittos are the obvious choice.. Thanks! Now someone buy my anthracite bullets and I can swap to staggered 275 /315s on new rims!!

I really loved my GSD3's but they discontinued them from what I read.

I am riding on Nitto Invo's now and so far I really like them. I wanted more of a 3 season tire compared to the Goodyears and they can be rotated which is a huge plus for me since I run staggered sizes. They are quiet and give a better ride compared to many summer only tires I have used but stick as well as most.

I am running the Goodyear Eagle GT's on my 2003 GT Vert.

So far so good. Nice tires!
