Hope this helped

WHAT???
going from GS D3's to Generals is like going from your E90 to a Toyota Prius!
You're going to compromise your handling that you have enjoyed with your Goodyear's!!!....BIG TIME!!....dont do it!

^+1. Don't do it. period. Direzza's are affordable and are one of the best tires out there. Kumhos will even work if you're on a tight budget.

On a separate but somewhat related note, make sure you check the manufacturing date for all the tires...don't be a victim like these folks...

Disclaimer: this maybe a repost, but it's good info that we should use when buying new tires...
