Very nice setup. Looks really great on your car.
My question is that I am considering the goodyear GS-D3's. I heard very good reviews on them. Comparable if not better than the S-03's minus the squeals.
What is your opinion on them?

Your S03's squeal? Mine are almost silent whether I'm sliding around a corner or roasting them on a launch. My main issue is the tremendous road noise that has developed as the tires have worn.

Default Quick review of GS-D3 tires...

WOW!
Between the wider rear track with the staggered set-up and these Goodyears, the car feels more stable through high speed turns and really feels "planted"! So far, they are very quiet considering their performance and size. Haven't had a chance to try them out in my favorite canyon yet, but I'm expecting great things...

NO! Don't do it!
Man, those TM-1s look good on black too
BTW, these Goodyear GS-D3s are fantastic- as an added bonus, they are great in the heavy rain we've been having lately. Excellent wet weather traction and highly resistant to hydro-planing too! Quiet and stick like glue...I give 'em a "10"!
