Firestones will have the best handling characteristics of the 3 options for spirited driving. Michelens the worst.
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Don't think you can beat the price ($150/tire installed when I got them) and they do great in rain. I've put 40k mi on mine and they have probably got 20k more in them.
I just got some KUMHO Solus ta51a, South Korean, they're so much better than the goodyear my car had from factory. And at a great price ????
I got a set of Kuhmos at America's Tire. Ordered online, drove to the store to have them installed. Same tire they use for the newer ID.4s. Not too expensive, and way better than the original Alenzas my '21 had.
Firestone Indy 500 tire? What level are you running at and on what car? What is your psi? It's a great novice (to intermediate-ish)tire, but you have to know when to back off. Run them too hot and they'll get a little greasy feeling. Although I can't see that happening after 1 lap.
I've had the Firestone Weathergrips on my Camry for 4+ years. Solid performance all around - better in snow than any all season tire I have used. Noise has gotten worse as they wear - there isn't any cupping or uneven wear - I think it is just the nature of the tire.
I’ve had 3-4 sets of kumhos on various vehicles & a trailer, great tires great prices
If you have the Firestone tires, everyone that I know that had them all got under 25k on them.
Came from continentals to kumhos and the wet performance is noticeably worse.
Changed to Kumho ecsta. Nag dry rot.
