Firehawk Indy 500 no longer available in 255...245 ok?

cost less too.

i was gonna do the new conti extreme contacts instead of these if i wouldnt have found a set.

dont let the mostly slick directional tread pattern fool you they are great in the wet too that was my only other concern. for max try i love em.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one having difficulty. I cant find the 500s, ExtremeContact Sport, or MPS 4S in PP sizes. Looking for Ecsta PS91 now.

Is there some sort of foreign investment firm buying up all the mustang rubber!?

tis burnout season my friend!

I put the 245/40/19 Indy 500 on the front on my PP wheels...not a single problem doing that. Had that size on my Comp A/S, too.

Oops. Forgot the rears aren't 275s like my 11 was. :headbonk:

Nokian hakkapeliita snow tires i used all last year were 245/40/19s too btw.......

Research has paid dividends them nokian snows and these indy500 have been the best 2 sets of tires ive ever bought. my car was a blast all winter with those too. sure seen alot of 4x4 trucks and suvs in the ditch last winter but never my 5.0 on snow shoes LOL.

PS North Dakota winters are no joke where i live.
Name says Wash DC <<<<<<<< currently because im on active duty.

Rears are 275's, I'm looking at the front's.

It think I'm going to just go with the 265 firehawks up front. It's only going to add 0.3" to the diameter, so the visual difference should be imperceptible. As a bonus, it would add 0.39" to the section width. Hopefully it won't dramatically change the steering feel.

~10mm up or down isn't going to change a single thing you can feel in the seat.

245/40/19

Tires look badass....can't wait.

How are they wearing....and how's the traction compared to the PZeros?

Ive only had them 2 weeks, for the price, I think that they're exceptional. Im still flsehing out the psi I want to run 30/31 feels too soft for DD street, so I'm back to 32 right now.

pzero vs these isnt even worth putting in the same sentance. p zeros are garbage as far as im concerned.

From a stop light if i hammer on it the car actually goes vs screaming and begging for traction.

3.55 gears might have some to do with it but either way these are way better!

Edit mine are at 35 psi prolly could go down a bit
