I see you already got some tires but for future reference the Firestone fire hawk indy500 is one of the best bang for buck tires out there. It’s been a couple years since I got mine but I think they were around $160 a tire and they WAY outperform the nitto nt555 that costs significantly more. I bought them as a cheap set of tires for the wet weather not expecting anything special and they surprised the hell out of me. I will recommend them to everyone that asks because they’re just that good (for a tire at that price range).
I have Indy 500s on my ND banger tire for the price AND you can drive them in the rain.
While not a 200tw tire the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 (340tw) not only costs significantly less but I've ran them with excellent grip on my WRX.
The original Winter Force tires are streets ahead of the Winter Force 2.
I like the set of firestone winterforce I just put on our XC70 this year so far. Took them out on snow/ice a few times so far and they feel like I would expect any dedicated winter tire to feel. What took me by surprise is how they drive in the dry... perfectly reasonable handling/braking and reasonable road noise for a winter tire. These actually handle and brake better in the dry than bridgestone weatherpeaks.
Another solid budget pick is the Firehawk Indy 500 (basically a baby Pilot Sport but cheaper). I ran them on my old Mk7 and they were awesome for daily + fun drives.
Indy500 - probably my favorite all around tire. Good looking tread, great dry grip, SUPERB wet grip, and also very quiet & comfortable
We had Firestone Transforces on my dad\u2019s truck when I was in high school. Slightest hint of mud and they would pack up and slick off in an instant, but man they lasted a long time.
Those are suredrive sold by firestone. Do not even think of taking these on any ice or snow. Firestone sells all season tires that have the capability of going in snow but these are not it. These are entry level tires.good enough for highway and city driving but that\u2019s it.
1990s Ford Explorer were pretty solid except for the pesky factory installed Firestone tires that would blow out at speed.
