The Firehawk Indy 500 tires aren't perfect but they hold up well on a track known for eating tires. Additionally they are predictable in wet/dry conditions which is perhaps more important for learning.
If you don't need run flats, get Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Rebadged Bridgestone tires that are stickier than most Michelin tires, and cheaper too
I also really like Winterforce tires. again far less expensive but great tread and can be studded if you want.
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's seem to be the best budget performance tires.
Westlake makes really cheap tires that are great for burners. They're really hard rubber too so they slip really easily. They're OK to daily but in the wet it's interesting.
After looking into it a bit I went with a set of Firestone Indy500s that mounted and balanced came out to less than $800. Had them for 6 months now, and no complaints so far.
As far as Indycar goes, it is hard to find a more prestigious tire company than Firestone. They have been a good partner to the Series for a long time.
Needing 4 new tires in my 2014 Honda Civic. Got quoted 400 mounted and balanced for a set of west lake tires.
We just replaced set of Firestones, less than 8000 miles by previous owner, that got hard and tried to disintegrate when we weren’t paying attention; chunks were coming off! Never seen a tire do that before unless it was old.
Westlake RP18 - Delaminated the tire before I killed the tread, good life, crappy grip.
