Until a couple years ago I would not have recommend a Firestone tire. I read some reviews on the Firehawk Indy-500 tire and they were all very favorable. I then found out that Sonoma raceway uses them on their instructor vehicles at the track and they do really well and don't wear out super fast. I took a chance and bought a set and have been very pleased for nearly 20k miles and they still have about 50% tread remaining.
I too run the occasional track day but most of my miles are highway or back-roads. The Indy-500's are great street tires and acceptable for a track day. They are also quite predicable in the rain or on a wet surface.
Compared to the cost of other big name rubber that won't last more than 15k, I would buy another set without hesitation.
