The owners and drivers didn't want to ditch Firestone because their tires don't fail and they never have to worry about safety.
I bought the avid ascend gt tires about 2 weeks ago. Quiet and smooth ride so far. Comparable to my previous Michelin tires.
They faired well, especially uphill. Trusted mechanic buddy said Blizzaks were the way to go, but these Yokohamas made me feel in control and handle well on the clear days
Recently got some Yokohama Avid Ascends after reading some recs on this sub. I like 'em.
I have been running a set of Firestone Winterforce 2 UV 235/65R17 on my 4Motion Tiguan for the past two winters. They have been a great winter tire for me. Really great in the snow and I have had no issues on dry pavement while interstate cruising at 80mph.
Yokohama avid on my xse non-premium as well. We just got our first snow here in Maryland, and it performed exceptionally imo.
Depends how u drive ur car. But if budget not an issue, go for michelin or yokohama.
I also live in Vegas, just had Firestone Firehawk Indy 500’s put on a month ago and have 0 complaints
Firestone Indy 500 Firehawk
Very reasonable price for the quality, and they last a while. I had Toyo Proxes T1 Sports before and they were great, but very expensive, and they did not last at all. I prefer the Firestones for daily driving.
A very poor tire, I think if you treat them as summer tires and put on winters or good all season + 3PMSF tires like Michelin Crossclimate 2s, you'll be much happier in the snow.
