I now have Firestone Indy 500s and am quite pleased with them.
Firestone indy 500. Rest of the world except usa they are known as bridgestone re003
fantastic tires. on my 3rd set on my z over the years. Great in the rain. good traction. not noisy. and affordable
I’ve had a set of Uniroyal - Tiger Paw Touring on mine and they have been great ! Good traction in the rain !
Another decent tire at a very good price is the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. They handle all the spirited driving I do quite well.
I’ve put Weathergrips on three vehicles, and I’ll continue to put them on vehicles if I have to. Phenomenal winter performance (in Southern Ontario) and absolutely brilliant in the wet. Zero hydroplaning. In the summer, I air them up a few pounds over the car manufacturer spec and they respond quite nicely.
Not a Subaru owner :( but I run Firestones xt destination on my yoda and truck. I’ve had Toyo open country’s and wild peaks on my truck and I honestly like the Firestone’s better for everyday use light off roading and styling.
Firestone Indy 500’s are a cheaper option that gives similar grip to continental extreme contact sports. They are just horrendous in the rain
Have a couple sets of the Firestones currently for another car. Will buy more when the need arises.
Spirited street driving with the occasional track day, just fine.
I got the Firestone Indy 500 in 215/55/17 and they have a LOT of grip but the sidewalls are very soft so there's not much steering feel.
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."
