I rode in a car with Indy 500s. For a tire that is a REAL commuter tire, it grips well and I ASSUME it has decent life and handles rain fine.
Pros: grips well, decent life

Have the Indy 500 on wife’s Vett. Great value summer tire. But for not much more you can get continental ECS02, and those are amazing tires.
Pros: great value summer tire
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette
I think you may have over spent. I have same thing but I replaced mine with Firestone Firehawk 500s they look great make the car handle awesome and didn't cost an arm & leg. But they are awesome bud.
Pros: make the car handle awesome
Cons: may have over spent
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I have Indy 500s on my E36 M3 and have been very happy with them. Breakaway is predictable, and the limits are high. They're 95% of the performance of a PS4S but 66% of the price.
Pros: predictable breakaway, high limits
Cons: 66% of the price

You need some better snow tires. I had Firestone Winterforce 2 UV tires on my Jeep and almost always just needed RWD in the UP unless I drove to breakers and it was 12” of snow
Pros: better snow tires
Vehicle:
Jeep
I just replaced the Firestone weathergrips on my 13 OB. They lasted a good 50k, and were great on the snow and ice and wet roads.
Pros: great on snow, ice, wet
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 50000 km
I’ve had 2 sets of Firestone over the past 5 years. Destination AT2 & Weathergrip. Both great tires in the snow. Weathergrips are not quiet tires though. But no blowout issues.
Pros: great tires in snow
Cons: weathergrips not quiet
Same with Firestone fuel fighters. They were all I could get in a hurry.
Dang Firestone charges me 170 and can’t even clean the old wheel weight adhesive (from them) off, plus they overinflated each tire by 10psi. Maybe time to go somewhere else, I mean at least they haven’t damaged my rims like I’ve dealt with almost every other time.
Cons: overinflated tire, didn’t clean adhesive
They are pretty good in dry weather, but absolutely terrible in snow. If you typically encounter snow, invest in snow tires.
Pros: good in dry weather
Cons: terrible in snow
Vehicle:
Mazda
