I use Firestone Firehawk Indy 500’s
Great tyre, a little less money than the Michelin or Bridgestone.
Bridgestone S23's every time.
I have 3 bikes all currently with S22's, including a ZX4RR that I run at track days.
The tyres get warm in 2-3 corners and very rarely feel the need to be tentative because the tyres aren't "in the zone". Basically they are confidence inspiring.
Been riding on Bridgestone since they released the S20, the evolution has been really good.
it's a good tire. I used them exclusively from 2005\~2016.
J'ai jamais essayé Michelin mais j'ai acheté plusieurs fois des Bridgestone et j'ai jamais été déçu, que ce soit en longévité ou en tenue de route.
Yeah, I have 20k with these on my Mazda6 and I wouldn't say they're unresponsive. In fact I would say they're quite responsive in that they like to track in the direction you're turning, so the car gets encouraged to dive into turns. One thing I have noticed is that they feel much more dead if you let them get low. Keep them at 36psi.
I’m glad the series asked Firestone for a bigger differential in pace between the reds and blacks. A lot of the time last year it seemed largely negligible.
I managed to get her setup with some Firestone all seasons, with hazard warranty for 600 out the door at a Firestone auto center.
We swapped in snow tires (blizzaks) and took a 20% efficiency hit, so your reported 33% is definitely worse but still in the same ballpark.
I have bridgestones too but theyre the dueler line, they are super loud and during highway merges or on curvy roads at higher speeds they are jarring.
It's wild to me that Firestone has been so invisible and irrelevant in the consumer market ever since the Ford Explorer fiasco, yet still so active in Indycar.
