Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 vs. Cooper Zeon

[BmacIL]

Supposedly it's ideal for handling

It is as it increases sidewall stability, and promotes more progressive/gradual slip.

Glad to hear about all the love for the Indy 500s. I just bought a set for my wife's C300 AMG, and was very close to buying a set for my GT/PP, when i found a guy selling take-off PS4Ss for the same price as the Indy 500.

Indy 500's. Saved a lot of money versus going with Michelin's and I think the performance is right there with them.

Another Firestone Indy 500 fan. Very happy with the ride and handling. Running 285/35/19 on a 10" wheel, +40 offset

How quiet are the Indy 500's? How's the ride?

Quiet enough for a performance tire, grippy, smooth ride so far. I've got about 3k miles on my set.

I can't wait for spring to try these bad boys out! Why do I have to live in PA? O ya, for the awesome DA 2 weeks a year!

Dont have any experience with the Coopers but I went from the stock P Zeros to Nitto 555 G2s and now running Indy 500s. Best out of three by far.

I've got some new wheels on the way and I'm going to use the Indy 500s. Can't wait to get rid of these Pirellis.

Yea I really need to get rid of these cheap chinese (Westlake) tires that came with the car. Damn wobble at 35mph is annoying due to tires being out of round. Verified on balancer..
Will be watching for sales online for a good UHP A/S or pure summer tire this year. I do not track my car for its just a DD cruiser so I want comfort/quiet, good in rain tire. Will keep the Indy 500's in mind.
