RICHARDA Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Hi Guys Can I run a Goodyear GS-D2 on one side of the front and a GS-D3 the other side, without disturbing the handling. I don't want to pay out for 2 tyres if only one if required. Both on standard 17" rims. Ta Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Not 100 % sure. I think the GS-D3 superseded the GS-D2 . I would send Goodyear's Technical Dept an Email. GoodYear I had a split on the inside of my GS-D3(possible manufacturing fault), they rang me the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 I dont think you should mix tyre types.. the tread pattern did change between the 2 tyres so that would affect the levels of grip etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARDA Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 Thank you, I have sent Goodyear an e-mail requesting some advice. I would have thought this is a common problem and most people don't want to spend out on 2 tyres when only one needs to be replaced.

lpher Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 I wouldnt do that if i where you...its even illegal to do that where i live @lpher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Don't do it mate. I've just had my fron D2s replaced with new D3s and the tread patterns are drastically different. I know it's a pain, but I'd only replace tyres in pairs. What's the problem? Puncture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARDA Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 Darren Just low tread on one side. I thought it would make sense for Gdyr to make the D2 & D3 compatible? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich I would have assumed that the D3 is an improvment over the D2? Probably makes more sense for them commercially to make them incompatible. If you want an answer based 100% on fact, then I don't know. It's a question for either someone who has done it, a tyre supplier, or Goodyear. I can guess what the answer from the latter two would be, but maybe you could get away with it. It's a crap situation. BTW how did the tread get low on only one side?

SkyJawa Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 never mix tyres or versions, the d3 has different characteristics than the d2 - get 2, its not worth not spending the extra...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
