Well, yesterday, i went to this other tyre dealer who said that the GSD2s and the G3s were not easily available here or in Blore. He called up a few dealers in Blore and they all said that these tyres would be available on in March.

He also said that the price might differ. Right now, the G3's cost around 3600 (+/- 100).

He couldn't get the price for the GSD2s though. I went through the G3 review and downloaded a pdf brochure. It seems to be a good tyre too.

The strenght of Bridgestone is in wet conditons and i'm pretty impressed with the way my stock S322s work, when the going gets slippery.

Performance wise, there's nothing to choose between these 2. My biggest worry is reliability, thought these tyre might be high performance and mae using hi tech materials, they've do require a certain kind of tarmac (make that "that best").

On a smooth expressway, these tyre might do wonders and run without a flaw but what happens when the car is driven on bad roads? Which of these tyres has what it takes to get past that kind of torture?

I have faith on BS since i've owned them before and they've proved to be worth every penny.

Finally, it all comes down to the availability of these tyres, i don't mind either of them so, i'll buy what ever is available in March.

My first choice though are the GSD2s.
