I have these on a BMW 528i and they’re great. Good responsive steering and is confident in canyon carving in Colorado. I disagree with every negative you listed.
I've had great luck with firehawk indy 500. They're 320 tw. I'm an okay intermediate driving a 2010 mx5. I'm not sliding the car around much at all.
They're great street tires and have been able to get more than 6 track days on them thus far. Tires still has more in them.
Last time i used re003 now currently using toyo tr1. They’re squarish & has pretty good grip.
Firestone Indy 500 tires the car is sucked to the ground.
Toyo Tires Open Country A50 OEM on my 25 CX-70. 275/45/21s. I am extremely happy with these tires. Quite for a 21 inch wheel, still at 9/32 front and near that at the rear with 7,500 mi I'm very smooth on the highway between 60 and 80.
I have Firestone Winterhawk 4, and they are great. Its basically budget version of Blizzaks as they are owned by Bridgestone. I am in central Europe and we have mild and wet winters as well, my driving profile includes everything, I will do 500km on the highway, mountain pass and then city driving and they work perfectly. We have them on 3 cars already. I was thinking about something more premium, but I am perfectly happy with them.
put these on my Mazda CX5 last year. Vehicle immediately felt sturdier (compared to the stock Toyos). I've driven in the snow and ice, mud, dirt, pavement and the tires are great.
Currently using toyo TR1, quite noisy when cruising on highway since it's considered as UHP
I wanted to write this because there are almost no reviews on this tire online. Firestone claims it's a big improvement over the previous generation. Traction is good on wet and dry roads. Slippage prediction is also decent. Road noise is fine. Ride comfort (in terms of feeling the road) is really good. Steering responsiveness is ABYSMAL. It's like driving an aquarium on top of a trampoline. Due to the fact the sidewall seems to be made of marshmallows, it's quite terrifying doing any aggressive driving. Highway driving, making turns specifically, is terrifying. Overall: Do not buy unless it's for rears only, or you're driving a car that is exceptionally light weight. If the steering and body movement responsiveness was fixed, this would be an excellent tire. Sadly the responsiveness is so bad, the tire feels legitimately dangerous.
I have a set of proxes on my G37x and I honestly think they are one of the worst tires I have ever owned. They don't hold grip in corners and downright dangerous when it's wet.
