From what I understand it is not advisable to run two different manufactures on the front and rear.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Need new rear tires on my 1999 996 19 inch wheels. Currently have Goodyear Eagle F1 GS 02, 275/30ZR 19's on the rear. Went to the local tire shop and they ordered replacements. They tell me Goodyear no longer makes GS-02 but rather changed to GS-D3. Can anyone tell me what the difference between the 02 and the D3 means? Anyway the tire dealer tells me they will not fit and I need to go with a Continental ContiSPortContact 2 with a size of 315/25ZR19. I would be concerned that a larger tire might rub. I am not a tire expert but this does not make sense to me and also my front tires are very good so I would perfer not to use two different brands of tires. Received a call from the tire dealership asking what the offset is on my rear wheels. Why would they need to know this for rear tires?? I am totally confused. I did not actually see the tires they ordered so I cannot verify if they were the 275/30ZR 19's with a D3 on them. Common sense tells me they should fit ok. ANy ideas, comments, advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

POST 2Original post

I have 19" GS-D3's. The diff between the 02 and D3 is that the D3 is specially formulated to handle very wet conditions. I dunno what your tyre dealer is saying regarding size though. Sounds like he don't know what he is talking about.....rear offsets??? I have 275/30/ZR19 on the rear and 235/35/ZR19 on the front. I had to bend the front fenders very slightly. See the tyres/wheels in my Garage on rennlist. Click the link below.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Berny..Thanks for the reply. Just got off the phone with a tire expert at TireRack. Very reputable tire company here in the U S. I listed my tires as 02 but they are actually D2. TireRack tells me yes indeed there is a big difference between D2 & D3 and they will not work fit my rears. The D2 & D3 is the composition of the sidewalls and some other technical stuff he mentioned. They also said Goodyear does not make a tire that I can use on my rear wheels so i need to change manufacturers. Hate to do this because the front tires ar in very good shape. From what I understand it is not advisable to run two different manufactures on the front and rear.

POST 4Original post

Wet performance was really missing from the D2, the D3 addressed that problem, 996 Aero - I love your car, looks great amigo....
