Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 Review

[Need4SpeedMotors]

I just put my factory wheels and tires back on (all season pzeros) so I could get them swapped over to a winter tire and omg is it day and night. The Indy 500's just kick the crap out of the all season pzero's. Better in the dry, better in the rain, and better in the corners. The only thing the pzero has is rough pavement is quieter and softer. I won't miss the pzero tires when I replace them with winters.

Wear has been really good as well and to be honest after 5000 miles I think I can get 30k out of them give or take, possibly more. (I don't do burnouts so I don't kill tires)

So my recommendation stands, if you're looking for a solid set of tires that won't break the bank and are better than all seasons pick them up. If you plan on tracking your car, you'll probably want something else but you'll pay more and tread life won't be as good.

I still have no complaints with this tire. They're better than the price tag so far.

Always nice when enthusiasts share their experiences, helps everyone! Thanks again, though we have used too many, the price is attractive for good across the board tire.

Maybe I missed this before because TireRack doesn't have them but just noticed the Firestone site shows a 305/35R20 available now. These are back on my list for summer.

Oh... really

Can't seem to find anyone to sell me one the past 20 min... :(

I have contacted Firestone and Tire Rack to get people's butts in gear on this tire size being available for sale. 285/35-20 and 305/35-20 has been a HUGE GAP.

Okay, called Firestone and they are going to call me back. Their sheet says only goes up to 285/35-20 and the website seems to show they haven't even put in a rim width yet, so perhaps this is a future size, not something that's available now. I told them to get their butts in gear because of the demand for this size and this particular tire. Much needed.

Thats what im talking about lol.

the 285/305 would be a much needed option for the community.

I was talking to my guy at Tirerack today about those sizes also ( not the brand) just sizes in general.

Well neither Firestone or Tire Rack got back to me, so...

Can confirm that these tires are fantastic. I'm running a 275/40/19 all around and they have been unreal. I will 100% buy another set of these. If anybody wants another in depth review I will gladly give one, but they're well worth the price.

 

[wildcatgoal]

I would like you to review them in terms of if they get girls or not...

You may proceed...

Sadly they do not. However, the exhaust is another story.

Please give your feedback on these tires in all aspects.
