Tires Firestone or Uniroyal
Indy500 - probably my favorite all around tire. Good looking tread, great dry grip, SUPERB wet grip, and also very quiet & comfortable
Firehawk Indy 500. They've been great and also really good grip in winter/rainy weather. I have about 26k miles on them with plenty of tread still. And they're cheap.
I\u2019ve had decent luck with the all weather Firestone Destination At/2 and I had some nokians before that that were really good but treads wore a bit faster.
I\u2019ve got Firestone weathergrip from the previous owner of my Outback wilderness and they have been great in the snow for our commute in Lake Ontario snow belt.
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’ve had a set of Uniroyals (Tigerpaws) on my 2010 ford focus slider. They’ve been on for quite a few years now, no noticeable cracking, and treadwear still good.
Consumer reports says:
Pros: Solid performance in the areas of dry braking, handling, hydroplaning resistance. Solid treadlife performance also.
Cons: Just average rolling resistance performance which can have a negative impact on vehicle fuel efficiency.
2012 Kia Sedona, just got 4 new tires installed at BJs warehouse. Uniroyal Tiger Paws Touring 235/60 R17. Mounted and balanced by them.
Why do they look squished? Like the sidewalls are collapsing? They are inflated to 34psi. They track straight, but not a smooth ride.
Personally I stay away from the Firestone stuff. Hard compounds that aquaplane easily and still have worse rolling resistance than the premium tyres.
