Tires: Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 225/45/R18. Basically rebranded Bridgestone Potenza RE003 for North America.
Didn't want to spend the money for them this year so I got indy500s and love em. Great bang for the buck. Pretty sticky. Quiet. Cheap.
I have the same type of tires on my 16'. They have been so much better than stock Firestones
I just want to add that through recent personal experience the firehawk indy500 are absolutely fantastic for the money. They look cool, perform well in wet, have fantastic dry grip and road feel and don’t “crash” over certain road imperfections or hum like your wheel bearings are made of wood on the highway. Highly recommend.
I have them and I like them. Sticky for sure, help make corners fun. I wouldn’t say they’re quiet but not super loud either. I have no reason not to recommend them.
I was going to need tires, and saw many positive reviews of the Firestone Firehawk Indy500, which were significantly cheaper than the Michelin Pilot Sports like I had on my old E36 M3.
I am now running 235/70R17 Yokohama GEOLANDAR A/T G015, gives the car almost 1" of lift, smooth and quiet on the freeway. They weigh 12# more than the stock 215/65R17 and make the car accelerate slower, but they are great on dirt roads.
i have yokohama s drive on my 86. seem good for the cheap price
The tires were solid. Seemed to have traction in the snow, but were pretty slippery on the dry salted roads. Ride quality/road noise isn't bad at all, even at high(er than i should've been going) speeds.
Yeah, made the mistake of buying Chinese tyres a while back, damn things would understeer into corners and oversteer out and that was summer driving, fortunately work picked up and I was able to swap them out for a set of new Yokohamas, still the scariest 3 months of driving I\`ve had in 40+ years of driving.
