we ran the d3s (really hard) and the d6s (pretty soft) last year

goodyear makes special "FWD" 28x10s in D5 & D6 compound only (unless your Jojo )

Generally with Goodyear the higher the number that follows the D is going to be softer.

I tried the D3 and the D6 last season and didn't see all that much difference.

I switched my order to a D6 compound. The D6 is now recommended for FWD after speaking with the guy.

well according to M&H, the M&H compounds are softer than the common Goodyear slicks.. its hard to determine since there is no 1 general way to compare.. they all have their own levels.

Are you looking for the Weld Magnum Import Drag wheels? Let me know. I am here in Kansas City where Weld is based and have some connections.
