I have them on my Alltrack - 225/40/18 and absolutely love them. Better handling and quieter than the stock 17in Kumho tires
Yah, awesome tire so far. They feel very similar to a PSS to me.
I have them on my alltrack. 235/35/19....they are truly an amazing tire for the money. Couldn't be happier with them.
My setup is Firehawk Indy 500s on stock Austin wheels. 225/40/18s. In terms of performance, the tires have been about as good as I could expect on the road. Turn-in feel is excellent, road noise is subdued, and the comfort is good. There is still some wheelspin off the line, but for the price the tires are excellent.
I put Firestones on all my cars, I've been running the "Destination" line of tires for several years on multiple cars. Never had any weird issues with them at all. Id definitely recommend Firestones to put on any daily driver.
I've had both. Get the Firestone and don't look back. Best tire I've used in the price range.
The Indy 500 is slightly better performing, while the RE760 is slightly more comfortable / refined. Which do you prefer? I had a set of the 500s and they were a really good value.
Same tires. Same smiles. Best bang for the buck BY FAR. Dry grip is incredible compared to goodyear eagle f1's and continental sport contact. Not to mention they're inexpensive. I've got 10k miles and they show little signs of wear.
Its been dry, and they have been fairly broken in by now. Steering response is fantastic compared to the old tires. But I have to agree with tire rack that there isn't much feedback. there is definitely more tread noise on the interstate. GRIP, WOW, This things cling harder than an ex girlfriend with abandonment issues. If you can live with a little more harshness its a night and day difference between this tire and the OE contis.
I've run the PSS and I have the 500's on my 135 as throwaway summers. They're soft and comfortable and grip OK... but they're numb and greasy at the same time. Very Meh tire.
