I save some cash and can get in sooner with a local Firestone. They do good work and have never let me down.
For summer tires I'd go with Michelin pilot sport 4s if you have cash to burn or Firehawk indy 500s if you are looking for a good price/performance balance.
In the end, anything is better than that garbage Firestone FR740 OE tires. That tire is crap on light snow, and so so in the rain. I am very happen I have better tires now.
I have really enjoyed my Toyo Versado Noir, it's a newer tire and I think it's a grand touring tire or touring if I'm not mistaken, I went 245 45r17 up from stock 235 45 and I like the beefy tires and it added a little bit of width. They're very smooth and quiet. I have never had hydroplaning issues even at 85 in heavy rain. The tires were tracking well. The only downside is traction from the power, I could break them loose with stock power and engine mounts with a dogbone insert. I'm stage 2 now and if I'm not careful I can spin tires at 30 from a roll on dry pavement. Like I said I can drive spiritedly and not have any problems, it's just the torque
Firehawk Indy 500. Fantastic value, outstanding dry and wet performance. I had them on my last car (Taurus SHO) and immediately put a set on my CC. Love them.
The tires are amazing. I love the grip and control I now have. Granted the tires that were on it were 8 years old (PO has the tires for a long time) so any new tires would make a world of difference
Got 34k out of mine and got a flat so replaced with firestone indy 500 and love them so far. Got 3.5k on them.
shitty frs prius tires to firestone firehawk indy 500s
215 to 245
Went from oh my god what the fuck is this to oh my god it's like I'm getting gripped by a large african man and^it^feels^amazing
I had two sets on two trucks, loved them for the first 10k miles and after that they pulled to the right all the time and were quite loud. Getting alignments done didn’t help it pulling to the right and as soon as I got different tires the pull went away.
Tire is rubbing! (only when I turn) My attempt at rectifying the problem. Installed BFT fit blocks and it still rubs. Cut the fender liner and it still rubs. I returned the wheels and tires.
