Can anyone find German Goodyear's

Looking for a set in the NY area. Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. Help please

If I can't find a set of these I will likely get some Toyo RA-1's

If it was me, unless you have crazy horsepower or track the car a lot, I'd go with a set of Michelin PS1s or PS2s. The toyo's are R compound rubber and will wear faster than normal street tires.

I got a set of rears albeit in 19 from tirerack. Found fronts at treadepot.com.

So try them. All four of mine are confirmed made in germany. Id say the issue of the chinese or taiwan made are not in tires sold or found in the US.

Well I'm in our own tri-state (NJ/PA/DE) area...

Will be attending the NY Dinner event next month.

Thinking about the MA event as well.... Had a good time last year but it's just a very long drive for me in the heat of Summer.
