SP3000's have a bit more grip but tend to wear a bit faster. Best wear I've seen personally on a BA onwards falcon was on GT Radials, driver was getting over 80,000k on them and they had plenty of grip. Not sure if he was nanna'ing it or not though, but thats still quite a good amount of k's!

gt radials are shocking for splitting the sidewalls

Goodride are budget tyres.I wouldnt go with them on your vehicle.The reason why the Dunlops are factory fittment is because it can handle the weight and speed of your vehicle.

Really! We fit a lot of GT Rad's to customer cars and haven't had a single one come back yet with split sidewalls.

Well you know how it goes, ya see one split tyre that means they all do it and if one car has a fault they all do.

When I brought my BF Falcon 6 mths ago the previous owner had Goodride tyres on the car and I thought they were crap so I took them off for Bridgestone. Car feels better but the road noise is still just as bad

only when you put rubber band type tyres on and hit curbs and pot holes. other wise fine

The GT Radials on our previously owned Maxima split the walls when about half worn. 2 out of the 4 had split on the inner wall. Was picked up at a WoF.

I would guess it was due to under inflation!

Not heard of this being an issue with GT radials.

Never underinflated. The ones that split were on the front and always run at 34 - 36 psi as advised by the tyre shop and Nissan dealer.
