Tires Firestone or OEM Porsche
I have Firestone weather grips and I like them a lot and they were half the cost of cross climate 2s
I have ran Firestone Winterforce and Firestone Winterforce 2 on my RWD R/T Chargers since 2009 and have zero complaints.
I found the Porsche to warm up pretty well by like 2 - 3 laps. Easier to brake. Braking distance a little shorter.
I went with Firestone destination at/2 in 235/65 r17. They are great and light weight! Only 4lbs more than stock tires.
I have a set of Firestone Destination All terrains tires and i love them.
I used to commute from Ithaca to Syracuse daily in a mk5 GLI. I had studded Firestone Winterforces on steel wheels. That car was an absolute beast in the snow and regularly outperformed 4x4’s.
I just replaced mine with the same that it came with. Decent tires got 55k out of them.
255 35 20 for Indy 500 also works, I’m using in 21m3p. Range takes a 5% hit.
1990s Ford Explorer were pretty solid except for the pesky factory installed Firestone tires that would blow out at speed.
Personally I stay away from the Firestone stuff. Hard compounds that aquaplane easily and still have worse rolling resistance than the premium tyres.
