Tires Firestone or SUMITOMO
I have Firestone indy500s on my GT,700 rwhp. Hard to beat the price
My Sumitomo Ice Edges have been doing phenomenal for a more budget snow tire this winter
I put on Firestone destination at 2s in 235/65 r17. They are only 4lbs more than stock and perform great!
I see you already got some tires but for future reference the Firestone fire hawk indy500 is one of the best bang for buck tires out there. It’s been a couple years since I got mine but I think they were around $160 a tire and they WAY outperform the nitto nt555 that costs significantly more. I bought them as a cheap set of tires for the wet weather not expecting anything special and they surprised the hell out of me. I will recommend them to everyone that asks because they’re just that good (for a tire at that price range).
I have Indy 500s on my ND banger tire for the price AND you can drive them in the rain.
While not a 200tw tire the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 (340tw) not only costs significantly less but I've ran them with excellent grip on my WRX.
The original Winter Force tires are streets ahead of the Winter Force 2.
Sumitomo and Falken are grippy and good but get loud as hell after a while.
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.
