The ZHP has RE040's as OE tires.

Gah, that's right. Make that 1 car with 040's, and one with 050's.

the F1 GS-D3s have renewed my faith in goodyear.

i run them on the V and they are decent. excellent in the rain and misty slick sort of road surfaces (not really raining, but slick enough to be a little scary). they wear pretty decently, too.

I found that they tramlined too much on rutted roads. Michelin Pilot Sports ride better and almost remove the tramlining. Their wet grip and sidewall feel maybe less though.

I echo the tramlining. There are a lot of ruts around my way from dump trucks and the RE040s suck it up bad.
