I suppose... except the GSD3 is such a great wet-weather, daily driver tire... and they've worn like iron for a 280 rated tire. Got FOUR seasons out of them (run snows during the Winter).

99% sure we're going with the Dunlop star specs to replace them.

Like I said... there are a few versions of the 7-spoke wheel around...

Is the sidewall/shoulder as squared off as it appears in that pic? Love squared off tires. Any pics mounted on a car?

They're no longer produced so will be as rare as hen's teeth.

Yeah, I just googled them and found that out.

Well, seeing as how there are a few that look similar, at least I can go for one of the others

As you now know they are discontinued, mine came courtesy of M7.

They do make a wheel that is very similar called the F7, only available in 18" & up.
