Tires Firestone or Achilles
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.
Not a Subaru owner :( but I run Firestones xt destination on my yoda and truck. I’ve had Toyo open country’s and wild peaks on my truck and I honestly like the Firestone’s better for everyday use light off roading and styling.
I had gotten some Achilles Desert Hawk UHP tires, they were really good for the price and held up a good while.
Firestone Indy 500’s are a cheaper option that gives similar grip to continental extreme contact sports. They are just horrendous in the rain
Have a couple sets of the Firestones currently for another car. Will buy more when the need arises.
Spirited street driving with the occasional track day, just fine.
I've got the firehawks on mine and i love them. I chose them precisely because of their price.
Can't speak to the super sports, but the firehawks are absolutely worth the money
If you’re looking for a good budget tire, have a look at the Achilles atr sport 2 tires. Got a set last summer and they grip awesome.
Beat bang for buck is the Firestone indy500 Firehawk. There is a reason they have a lot of hype around them
vegas eh. i just got a set of Achilles ATR sport off of Amazon for 47$ each shipped free. they're usually used as cheap track tires but plenty of people use them on all sorts of cars. if your not a brand snob check em out
We just replaced set of Firestones, less than 8000 miles by previous owner, that got hard and tried to disintegrate when we weren’t paying attention; chunks were coming off! Never seen a tire do that before unless it was old.
