The newer style Firestone WinterForce 2 are decent tires. Good tread design, not too hard, not too soft compound. Fairly priced $100-150/ea depending.
On a other note, the Indy 500s are a great tire. 90% of the grip of the Pilot Sports for a fraction of the price.
Just picked up some dirt cheap 26" tendrils to replace the nobbys on my stumpjumper commuter. Hope they do well with glass riddled roads, but honestly at $10 a pop it's not a big deal if they don't.
YEARS ago, had to be over 12 yrs, Kenda was selling FLAME tires for $5 each. I bought 30. I still have a few. They weigh a friggin ton, at least 2x more than a normal tire but they're pretty bulletproof and look cool.
I have 205/50/16 Indy 500s on Dekagrams and it’s perfect. Have specR lowering springs also. And no rubbing (sits perfect to me).
I now have Firestone Indy 500s and am quite pleased with them.
Firestone indy 500. Rest of the world except usa they are known as bridgestone re003
fantastic tires. on my 3rd set on my z over the years. Great in the rain. good traction. not noisy. and affordable
Another decent tire at a very good price is the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. They handle all the spirited driving I do quite well.
I had these, but the 12.5’s on my JL i traded in for the gladiator. They were good for all but ice. My jl’s stock ko2’s were far better in the snow/ice and i actually missed having them. Live in Alaska so half the year slipping around wasn’t ideal lol. Just some info for anyone looking at these tires
For rears, Ironman Imove or Accelera PHI. Kendas are overrated.
