Tires Firestone or NANKANG
My Toyota came with Firestones OEM when I bought it new.
I’ve since used other brands, but had zero issues when I had my Firestones. They lasted about 75K miles, too.
I love my Indy500s, the amount of grip you get VS how long it takes to wear them out is great. No cracking either, even when I waited a little too long to switch to winter tires and it was like 30F out. Only tires that are better would be Pilot Sports at a much higher price
I have been impressed with the Firestone Destinations. They came on the new Jeep Cherokees. Liked them enough to replace with the Destination AT2 on my Cherokee and also my Tacoma. Good balanced all terrain tire.
I own a set of Firestone indy 500's that I inherited, and I really like the good grip and predictable slip plus the even wear and low noise. Definitely going to order another set
Prefer the Firestone's, however, since they're surprisingly quiet.
It’ll probably be close to 50K on the Firestone Destinations that came on my ‘21 Sport DCLB, great tires.
Mine came with the Firestone Destination LE2 and I was going to take them off immediately but they ride nice and are quiet, 20k on them now and they have 7/32” left. They came with 11/32” so if they keep wearing at the same rate they’ll be at 3/32” at 40k and it’ll be time to replace them. They’ve got a 60k treadwear warranty but I live in AZ and the heat is rough on tires.
My buddy has them on the rears of his FBO 335i right now. They're not terrible for basic to spirited street driving. They can't handle any power at all though.
I had vibration problems on my ‘16 GTI (at 75+ MPH) with new Firehawk Indy 500’s on new Neuspeed hub centric wheels too. Balanced 3 times still the same problem. Swapped into different tires. Problem completely solved.
Not the same vehicle, but, on my truck (2wd, V8, manual), I installed Winterforce 2 tires, and while I haven't driven in any snow with them yet, on wet or dry pavement, they are horrible. Not much traction at all, even if I try to drive "carefully."
