I just had a set of firehawk indy 500 tires installed on my car on monday. I thought i would share my feedback as to how they perform on the car. Steering response... Wow This is so much better. the car is way more willing to turn. there is less delay between the steering wheel and the car moving. Wet traction is a huge step up. Ride. I havent noticed a huge Decline in the ride. Noise, at city speeds the noise has been minimal, no real difference.

Pros: better steering response, huge wet traction

Cons: more tread noise

The Firehawk indy500 is actually a rebranded Bridgestone Potenza RE003. Really good tire for the price.

Pros: good tire for price

As other have mentioned, that tread issue does kinda remind me of how my Firestone snow tires looked after a couple of summers driving on them and doing a fair amount of burnouts and drifting in my 350HP E23.

Cons: tread issue after misuse

Vehicle: BMW

I've run the PSS and I have the 500's on my 135 as throwaway summers. They're soft and comfortable and grip OK... but they're numb and greasy at the same time. Very Meh tire.

Pros: soft and comfortable

Cons: numb and greasy

Vehicle: BMW

I'm 2 months into my fire hawk indy 500's...I CANNOT believe they're so cheap. I'm not expecting much more than 30k miles, but they grip exceptionally well even when I expected understeer, the car maintained its line. They're easily the stiffest tire I've ever owned. That can be a good and bad thing.

Pros: grip exceptionally well

Cons: stiffest tire ever owned

So far I haven't really pushed them, and I don't do much more than just some very quick backroad driving and highway miles. I've had them for almost a month (even in below / near freezing) and haven't had any issues unless there was snow on the road (obviously since they're summer tires).

Pros: easy choice, good ratings

Cons: haven't really pushed them

Vehicle: Porsche Cayman

Another vote for the Firestone Winterforce tires... Michigan's Upper Peninsula, with LOTS of snow, and I travel the entire area. Most of what we get is snow, minimal ice, and after experimenting with several different brands we go back to the Winterforce every time.

Pros: works in lots of snow

Cons: somewhat noisy

That being said if you're looking for cheap NEW winter tires, Firestone Winterforce tires are fantastic. They're kind of loud, but they work great.

Pros: work great

Cons: kind of loud

i run firestone transforce a/t's on my cummins and theyre great tires IMO. no compaints about them from me and they do great in the snow. a few guys over at plowsite run them too and no major complaints. grandpa runs mastercraft on his plow truck and they hold up very well too he had them on his 08 passat too and they were good tires.

Pros: great tires, good in snow
