Anyone know what sizes they're putting out of production?

More to the point, are they still making 215 40 16?

I use 195/50/15 too, they shot up from about 35 to 40 last time I looked

Hope they keep making them in that size

What was the one they bought out to "replace" the GSD3s though, there was loads of hype about them, then it all seems to have stopped?

My understanding is these tyres will faze out and be replaced by good year excellence, I just managed to lay my hands on 4 new ones but I think that will be the last time

I've just bought Eagle Assymetrical F1s because they stopped doing GSD3's in my size. For reference they won Evo mags tyre test a while ago.
