Tires Firestone or GISLAVED
I've been pretty happy with the cost/benefit of Firestone Indyhawk/Indy500/whatever they're calling them these days, on the stock wheels. They don't last long (I get 10-15k miles out of a set) but they're damn cheap ($650-$750), and break traction quite easily and predictably, if you enjoy going a little sideways often. I usually am running the Flying Miata alignment specs with these tires break loose fantastically easily and enjoyable for me on that alignment. On a factory alignment though they are reasonably grippy for spirited street driving. Again though the biggest benefit of them is they are super widely available (because Firestone) and CHEAP.
Very happy with Firestone Destination XT. As quiet as all seasons, great snow traction more than decent offroad
I have done both FireHawk and G Max and been impressed with comfort. Way better than the OEM continentals that it came with, and much cheaper than Michelin.
I've had Gislaved Nordfrost 200...My favorites were the Gislaved and will be getting new ones this year.
I had the Firehawk Indy 500 from Firestone on, and they we're great. Lot's of grip going around corners and still felt very secure during heavy rain. I paid around 900 for a set of four on my 18 inch wheels.
Firestone fire hawks. But the ride is perfect and so is the handling with those tires, for me at least. I have continentals currently, and I much prefer the Firehawks.
Indie Firehawk 500s. I love them. Nice summer tire.
Airing up tires would be about the only thing I'd trust Firestone with and it would have to be free to even trust them that much.
I bought these tires 18,000 miles ago. My car is a Toyota Camry. And frankly, it was smoother before these tires. Definitely avoid these tires.
I had firestone put 2 on the front of my 2015 Camry. I put 7,000 miles on them and they are already worn out.
