Tires Firestone or MRF
Possibly the MRF tyre fitted on R variant has less road noise than the Bridgestone Tyre fitted in the Elevate at the time of launch. If that is the case then it is a good move. There were complaints on road noise on the 2023 Elevate.
I’ve only got a focus st but my firestone fire hawk indy500s have been really nice to me. Not 200tw so they’ll last longer but lots of grip and not terribly expensive
I've really enjoyed my Firestone Indy 500s. Plenty of grip and they give confidence in the rain.
I'm waiting on my factory tires to get a little more wear on them before I replace them. However, when I do I know I'm going with a much better set of Firestone tires then what the factory put.
I replaced my great condition hankook run flats with cheapo firestone weathergrips and they are better in every way. Warm weather, cold weather, rain, snow.. Better traction and ride comfort across the board.
I like firestone firehawk indy 500. summer tire. sticky. reminds me of the old yokohama S.Drive. Plenty of grip wet or dry, and in dry it's the only one that's let me put down full power coming out of a corner without going all spastic or lighting the traction control lamp.
they have excellent grip
These are the common issues in MRF APOLLO AND CEAT.
These kind of bulging cause bursting on high speed.
Worst tires I have ever purchased. Snow traction was very good for an all season, but these should be marketed as a snow tire. The first set wore out in 13500 miles (in part due to a slight misalignment), and the second set are near garbage after 23000 miles. Most frustrating, is that they have cracked in between the tread. Firestone offered a measly discount as a warranty claim for the first set, I think $15 per tire. Spend the extra money and get a better set of all seasons.
I have these on my RAM 1500 and they spin on wet pavement even with care on the throttle.
