Firestone Weathergrips are great tires. I had them on a 2011 Escape before it got hit by a retard. They handled an Alberta winter no problem, however my studded winters were obviously still better.
I have these on a BMW 528i and they’re great. Good responsive steering and is confident in canyon carving in Colorado. I disagree with every negative you listed.
I've had great luck with firehawk indy 500. They're 320 tw. I'm an okay intermediate driving a 2010 mx5. I'm not sliding the car around much at all.
They're great street tires and have been able to get more than 6 track days on them thus far. Tires still has more in them.
Firestone Indy 500 tires the car is sucked to the ground.
I have Firestone Winterhawk 4, and they are great. Its basically budget version of Blizzaks as they are owned by Bridgestone. I am in central Europe and we have mild and wet winters as well, my driving profile includes everything, I will do 500km on the highway, mountain pass and then city driving and they work perfectly. We have them on 3 cars already. I was thinking about something more premium, but I am perfectly happy with them.
I personally use 205/50r16 Firestone Winterforce 2's on my MK7 for Iowa Winters, it's a great tire and I've had little issues with it.
I currently have Firehawk AS V2's on mine. I live in an area that gets all four seasons, and they've served me well in the rain and snow/ice. I'm sure I'm sacrificing some summer performance, but that's pretty far from my priority. No issues with excessive wear or tire noise
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.
Ironmans are garbage. Slipped in any kind of wet weather
Just got these on my wife's cx5 and yeah they didn't feel much better than the blizzaks we just removed. Then she texted over the weekend to say they're the loudest tires she's ever had and the road noise is terrible.
