Firehawk Indy 500's?

[BuffBakerGA]

I just ordered these tires for my Velgen VMB-5 wheels, 275/35/20 the fronts and 305/35/20 the rears...

Anyone running these tires? I just want to know how long they last and compared to the premium PS4s.

The car is it daily driver, to and from work. I do get on it a good bit with spirited driving but I'm not using for the track. Thoughts?

Yes, inquiring minds would like to know,

Just got me curious enough to ask, What size tire are you running on your setup. By the way great looking Mustangs in your avatar.

These are great tires, even when you have to say "for the money"...the Firehawk name doesn't bring the same name premium as it would if the tire had remained the "Bridgestone Re003". I ran them on my GT/PP and was plenty happy with the performance though I only had them about a year so no long term treadwear opinions.

Great summer tires. Rest easy. They grip well in the dry, wet and aren't atrocious in the cold like Pzeros. They ride well, are quiet and have good life. Great tire.

My takeaway from this is that the Falkens are pretty good, especially in wet...

Are the firehawks directional?

If you have an account you view the tire test results from Consumer Reports. The Firehawks did fairly well. They did not recommend them but they scored decent.

My Indy 500's came in so I'll take pictures once they get installed. I don't think they're directional but I'll double check. Everything I've read about these tires has been good.

Now I gotta find some lugs...
