I'd recommend Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. They're really good and affordable tires that have excellent grip. They don't have much road noise and last decently long.
I have run the Indy 500s on two Minis, Audi A8 with a 630HP tuned motor, Volvo V90 and Mercedes E550 with a Renntech tune. EXCELLENT tires for the money, Tirerack has great prices!
I’m currently running the Indy 5 hundies and I do like them and they grip very well. Not so great in heavy rain tho
I rode Indy 500s on my focus st for many years. The performance and price are amazing. The amount of grip transformed that car. The ride quality is a little harsh but not noisy.
Had the 500s on my old BRZ, they were amazing, especially in the wet which is hard to find on summer tires.
The Indy 500s are an amazing tire.
The big thing I love about the Indy 500, is that it has amazing wet performance compared to other tires I've run. It holds lateral g's very well and the tire wears evenly as long as you are aligned correctly. I've had some other summer tires that tend to wear on the edges way faster.
I was really happy with the Indy 500’s on my VA. Might get them again for my VB when I can justify it. Highly recommended
I've had NS-II on my car for the past 4 years. For daily driving these tires will do just fine. Wet grip is alright and they're not terribly loud. They don't compare to Michelin Pilot Sport tires I ran before but they also don't cost anything close to Michelins.
I had been looking for a secondhand setup and got a great deal on these. I likely would not have chosen the Nankangs myself. Wet traction is awful, and I break loose from stoplights in dry conditions really often.
My complaints weren’t about poor traction or low limits as a performance tire. They were about how truly poor a tire they were at simply being tires. Basically in every measure of a tire they performed poorly.
