The newer style Firestone WinterForce 2 are decent tires. Good tread design, not too hard, not too soft compound. Fairly priced $100-150/ea depending.
Pros: good tread design, fairly priced

On a other note, the Indy 500s are a great tire. 90% of the grip of the Pilot Sports for a fraction of the price.
Pros: great tire, good grip
Cons: 90% of Pilot Sports
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I have 205/50/16 Indy 500s on Dekagrams and it’s perfect. Have specR lowering springs also. And no rubbing (sits perfect to me).
Pros: perfect, no rubbing
Vehicle:
Ford Fiesta
I had the Firestone Steeltex the ones before the Transforce with good tread They had less cracking than I see on yours. Drivers front blew out on the way home from vacation, 70 MPH and barely missing the concrete median. Personally I would replace them and personally I would not go with Firestone
Pros: good tread
Cons: blew out at 70mph
I now have Firestone Indy 500s and am quite pleased with them.

Another decent tire at a very good price is the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. They handle all the spirited driving I do quite well.
Pros: good price, handle well
Firestone fire hawks, summer tire, but all four was around $600
Pros: summer tire
Firestones don’t last, Michelin are worse, and Vredestein are hard to find, and replace.
Cons: don’t last, hard to find
I’ve put Weathergrips on three vehicles, and I’ll continue to put them on vehicles if I have to. Phenomenal winter performance (in Southern Ontario) and absolutely brilliant in the wet. Zero hydroplaning. In the summer, I air them up a few pounds over the car manufacturer spec and they respond quite nicely.
Pros: phenomenal winter performance
