Great tires, I have them on my GTI. But, unless you have a death wish, don't even think about using them in snow.
I have 265's all around on 19's on my a4 avant with bilstein b16's. They are a great tire and they have been wearing well over the last 10k miles. Best value for a summer tire IMO.
I purchased a pair to throw on the rear of my BMW after roasting a set of Pilot Super Sports on the track. For street driving they are 99% of a PSS at 50% of the price. Highly recommended.
I have them on my Alltrack - 225/40/18 and absolutely love them. Better handling and quieter than the stock 17in Kumho tires
Yah, awesome tire so far. They feel very similar to a PSS to me.
I have them on my alltrack. 235/35/19....they are truly an amazing tire for the money. Couldn't be happier with them.
My setup is Firehawk Indy 500s on stock Austin wheels. 225/40/18s. In terms of performance, the tires have been about as good as I could expect on the road. Turn-in feel is excellent, road noise is subdued, and the comfort is good. There is still some wheelspin off the line, but for the price the tires are excellent.
I put Firestones on all my cars, I've been running the "Destination" line of tires for several years on multiple cars. Never had any weird issues with them at all. Id definitely recommend Firestones to put on any daily driver.
FWIW I am also in Oregon and have found the the Indy 500s inferior to the OEM Bridgestones in the dry, but better in most other respects.
Definitely a great wet tire - though my wheel hop is back despite the RMM. On a very wet onramp (99E SB to 224... aww yeah) I was able to hold a 4 wheel drift, pretty cool for a FWD car. But the turn-in still feels a little too..... normal.
I have had a few sets of blizzacks, and while they were great on slick roads, I found they were not good going through a few inches or more of snow and were terribly "mushy".
