Quantum Falda Elites (Knock off GSD3's)

[Smokinhot]

I have Pace Car Torque Stars with the 225 50 16 Blizzacks (which are on car now) and I have Polished Aluminum Torque Stars with 245 50 16 Nittos (which will be replaced soon with GSD3's or the knock-offs)

yes he did the inside of the rim. We will let Kevin chime in for the pricing.

Explain, what are the knock offs. I'm in need of new tires for the summer and those were the tires I wanted

the knockoffs are ones that have a similar tread pattern to a gsd3.. beyond that, its no gsd3

There called quantum falda elites, and are sold by NTB. I cant find any information on them really besides a German website. A few people that work at tire places have told me about them. They are dirt cheap.

I cant get any real solid information about these tires, I want to know if they just look like GSD3's or they can actually meet the performance.

Again, any proof?

im going off price and which one of the two is highly regarded as a high end tire, theres gotta be something to that theory.

Yes there is always this "you get what you pay for" thats why I would like to know some real information. Could the GSD3's be ~100 more a tire, just because they said Goodyear? There are alot of products that have HUGE markups.

 

[CamaroSS]

dunno, of all the tires ive owned on my cars, none compare to the gsd3, i had another set of good years before these, and they sucked compared, had 2 kinds of high end bridgestones on my Z, those cant compare either, they would break lose on that car. these tires rarely break lose for me. they stick pretty well even in the rain considering they are on a rwd car

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

i have Eagle f1s GSD3s on mine right now fucking love them, they just haul ass and stick like crazy

 

[Mook]

how can a tire haul ass

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

car = ass, they be hauling it

 

[CamaroSS]

ive yet to hear anyone say anything bad about the gsd3's. once they are warm, they are about as close to a DR you can get next to the bfg's kdw's i belive they are

 

[Mook]

rsa's' > any tire every made...ever

 

[CamaroSS]

i should drive to your work and hit you with a tack hammer for that

 

[Mook]

i hate those fucking tires

 

[PANDA]

That is why im interested in them. DR like traction on a street tire that will last a hell of alot longer than a DR. But spending ~$160 a tire is alot.

[CamaroSS]

please, when i got mine, there was no 160 a piece, i got mine for over 200 a piece i believe

 

[PANDA]

~160 for 245 50 16's

 

[CamaroSS]

that doesnt do me any good

 

[CamaroSS]

that reminds me, i gotta look into another set of rims and 2 new tires still in the next month or two

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

please, when i got mine, there was no 160 a piece, i got mine for over 200 a piece i believe

x2!! mine was 750 for 4 of them, 225x45x18 i believe

My friend has two 16" polished Z28 wheels if your interested. I assume, you need these for DR's? or you looking for a entire new set?

 

[CamaroSS]

i need 17's first off, and im gonna probably get some new z06 rims
