I use these a summer tire on my BRZ and they're great, they tick all the boxes at a great price. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely better tires, but I could get two sets of these for the price of Michelins.
I literally just installed these last night on my car. I totally agree with you. Look great, road noise is great, and grip is great and very noticeable.
I've had these on my Civic SI for over a year. They aren't as good in grip as PS4S's but far better than the budget tires I've driven on in the same price range. They seem to fare better under heat than the Extreme Contact Sports, and are predictable.
I felt the difference immediately in terms of grip and also road noise ( of which I was most presently surprised). Had a couple rainy days and I can say I have never experienced tires that can grip so well in the rain. These tires however I never had an issue in terms of grip they just love to hug the road and make the car feel so planted.
After two years with the car finally some wheels and tires. 18’s on Federal RS-RR 235/40/18. Definitely love the grip
Running them on my MINI Cooper S and they did fantastic on the Dragon! So far, VERY happy with these - especially for the price.
Yup! I run these as part of my summer-only wheel and tire package on my Sportwagen here in CO. My car is just a daily driver that I don't push particularly hard and these tires exceed my expectations. Not noisy and plenty of grip. Fine in wet too though we don't get a whole lot of rain and standing water around here. I've only run them one season so far but if they keep performing like they have, I'll continue to buy them.
Running them on my quattro Audi. Love them! Best value tire for a daily driver... Once my OEM tires went at around 21k miles (goodyear eagle F1 summers), I went to a set of summer michelin PSS and those were extremely sticky and insanely responsive but also very noisy and became very unsafe under about 40°F (plus they're a bit expensive). Those only lasted me 15k miles so i was disappointed in the longevity, then I heard firestone came out with this tire right when I needed new ones so i ordered a set (I was the first in my entire area to have them) and they've been pretty good to me so far. They're not as good as the michelins at the very edge of handling but they are much quieter, less harsh on the ride, and work in a much wider range of temperatures (I've had them down to under 20°F). For the price and the fact that they're almost as good as the michelins and certainly better than the goodyears I would definitely recommend them.
I had some on my E34. Gripped great in the dry, I avoided the gas pedal when turning/changing lanes in the rain. I gave it a bit of gas near the end of the turn to make sure I'd pass a Buick next to me when I almost ended up driving into the Buick because the rear end let go.
I was thinking about running 185/60-13's for a while. All that I could find where Federal 595 and Achilles 122 which are both ****ty tires.
