I like them, but there are better options now.
These were among the best tires when they first came out (4-5 years ago from what I can recall). They do get louder as they wear, and there are better tires available now as tire technology has gotten a bit better. Good alternatives would include the Goodyear F1 Asymmetric and Michelin PS2. Either of those would be quiter riding with better dry grip and equal or better wet traction to the GSD3.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>

I've been very happy with GS-D3's on my Corrado and UrS6
The dry grip is very good and wet traction is excellent. Like Gary said the noise does increase as the tires wear, but at about 1/2 the original tread depth the set on my UrS6 isn't too noisy.
When the current sets I have wear out I'll be replacing them with the F1 Asymmetric. They are a newer better tire and TR was selling them recently for $25 off/tire and a $50 rebate on a set of 4. That deal really makes them a great buy compared to the GS-D3 or PS2.

The best performance/street tire I have owned. Stick like glue in the wet and dry. Stay off snow. Can be used on track with abandon. They go where you point them.
