I've had mine for about 50k miles. Still at about 1/4 tread. I run them in a 4runner. Wet traction (comparing thesebto Wildpeaks) isn't the best but they do great off-road. Gas mileage hasn't been affected either due to how light they are. Overall, I've been happy with them.
For the gti the firestone Indy firehawk 500’s are great tire for not super expensive. Just as good as my continental
Awesome bike, but swap out the stock tires asap.
Mogu da kazem da sam imao Firestone letnje i jako su dobre.
Swapped my wifes Z4 from runflats to normal.
Pros: better ride, less likely to crack rims, cheaper tyres.
Cons: no spare tyre.
Before I switched I had 4 sidewall tears, one bent wheel, and one cracked wheel. $3000 in damage. After I switched, zero issues a year and a half later. Smoother ride and less road noise too.
We have used Firestone Indy 500 on my wife’s Vett. Does auto cross and daily driving very well. They are wearing nicely, and very evenly.
For the price of them, I’m happy with their performance. Sure not as ultimately quiet or dry grip of a conti ecs02 or PS4S. But at way lower price, I can live with that.
I don't see any tire alternative that is a better choice than Firestone. They aren't perfect, but they are usually very good and don't have a lot of catastrophic failures.
I changed tires once, and only once, at Walmart. Everything was awful. The staff were a bunch of untrained amateurs who were impatient and didn\u2019t get the wheel balance right. The car was drivable at 60-80 kph, but it noticeably started to shake at 100 kph (60 mph) on the highway. The Firestones were so incredibly noisy I could barely wait to replace them again.
As others mentioned, run-flats are more suspectable to sidewall damage. They're also heavier and noisier. Also, you may have a wider selection of tires if you go with non-runflat.
