I'm currently running Firehawk Indy 500 Performance tires as all seasons and they do well enough in small amounts of snow
I've only driven on them for 30 miles but holy crap are these things amazing. These winters grip better in the cold than the crappy Firestone summers my car came on grip the warm. I'm able to launch a 0-60 with minimal wheel spin and without chirping the tires on the 1-2 shift. These are also softer and quieter than any Blizzaks or X-Ice Snows I've had. They're soft and squishy and compliant. They give a great ride and still retain some steering feedback.
What's your goal? To become a professional driver (regardless of it being profitable or not)? to find a new fun way to burn money? To live out a dream of driving a car you maybe can't afford on track? I did the drive an exotic before i had a car that was worth taking on track. It was a blast. I have more fun doing hpde now where I get significantly more track time (and get stuck with the cost of tires and rotors and brake pads and fixing things that break and trying to chase gremlins) . While the idea of racing is appealing the cost of racing is not but if that was a goal progressing towards a license and avoiding picking up any bad habits is your best bet.
I've had a FWD Corolla for 12 years and it has gotten me through the worst kind of storms in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and here in NL with Firestone Winterforce tires. I swear by them! I've gotten through conditions in snow storms that even big jacked up 4 wheel drive trucks got stuck in.
Rotating tires, system checks, and topping off the windshield fluid.
One set of tires is my only out of pocket maintenance expense.
My maintenance has been a new set of tires, new wiper blades, gallons of wiper fluid.
255 35 20 for Indy 500 also works, I’m using in 21m3p. Range takes a 5% hit.
I had firestone put 2 on the front of my 2015 Camry. I put 7,000 miles on them and they are already worn out.
Just bought for these for my Camry and I hate them. The ride is very bumpy and Firestone won’t do anything about it.
