I slide my car around all the time and they catch traction when a want and lose it when I want. Great tire, DONT DRIVE IN WINTER. if you're looking for a tire to shred rubber off of and do it a lot. This is the tire
Doesn't Handle like my Michelin Pilot sports in the turns. Feels a little Loose in the rear end as if the sidewall isn't too strong. Took them on a Trip with some Twisty Turns in my Bmw M3 didn't handle as well as I Hoped for. Will have to order new tires asap already :(
Used them for my audi s4 as daily driver/backroad fun car. They definitely had grip in a straight line but felt soft on the sidewall when turning (compared to pilot sports previously though...). Treadwear wise, I only got 15k miles out of them with rotating every 2500 miles. Idk if i had the a little over pressured or what but thought they would have lasted longer than that. Plenty good for the price thought when i got them (170ish per tire).
Bought these tires for my 2017 fiesta st. Bought 205/50r16. These are a really great budget summer tire. Grip levels are great in the dry, pretty good in the wet too. What I was most impressed with was the comfort. These tires ride so much better than the stock bridgestones that came with my car. Overall this is really great summer tire, and you really can't beat it at this price point.
Great tires for the price! Aggressive looking tread with lots of grip! Perform great in the rain also!
For mild street applications the indy fire hawks preform exceptionally well! Would recommend them to anyone
I have only put a few hundred Mike's on these tires so far. The handling is great and the noise is not bad at all compared to some other br as nds that I have used. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great summer tire and looking to also beef up the look of there car.
Great all around tires for grip and performance during the summer. I live in Florida so I can use them year round, rain performance is great, road noise is not as bad as the stock tires which I see as a plus but they are not completely quiet. I heard that the tread wear is okay for these tires but I have yet to see that myself with only 1,000 miles on them. Overall I would definitely recommend these tires to anyone with a performance vehicle.
I have a BMW 335d and my car has a ton of torque, 525wtq. These tires can put down the power and also corner very nicely. For the price I really don't know what would even compare to these. I will buy these every time I need SUMMER tires. Unsure how they would hold up on a track. I did a 1/8th mile drag @ 3 passes and they held up fine. They also hold up at almost 3 minutes doing 145mph+. I'm buying them again no doubt.
These summer tyres are impressive. I would definitely purchase these again especially for the price. You have to understand that these perform best when road conditions are dry, warm to hot and obviously not as great when the roads are wet; But that's okay because you should change your driving habit. Dry and cold conditions still have a good amount of traction. I've had them for about a year and a half. I expected to get at least a year but I may change them just shy of two years.
Get technical:
The Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 is an ultra-high-performance summer tire that’s designed for use on compact cars, sedans, coupes, sports cars, and muscle cars, and offers drivers impressive handling, better hydroplaning resistance, and excellent braking performance.
Features & Benefits
- Ultra-high-performance tread; should not be used when temperatures are consistently below 45 degrees Fahrenheit
- Black sidewall
- Backed by Firestone’s 90 day Buy and Try Guarantee on tires sold in sets of 4 or more (certain restrictions and limitations apply)
- Wider footprint and robust tread compound ensure extended wear life by fending off uneven wear
Built to offer reliable handling and impressive controllability in dry and wet conditions, the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 is one of the best ultra-high-performance summer tires on the market suitable for use in warmer weather conditions, in temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. An ideal choice for performance seekers and racing aspirants, the Firehawk Indy 500 features wider shoulders that increase the tire’s stiffness to offer excellent cornering confidence to the drivers. While the Pulse Groove Channel in the tread pattern ensures water evacuation for reduced risk of hydroplaning and improved wet handling, the improved rubber compound and optimized tread pattern reduce the stopping distance of the tire on wet roads by up to 20% than its prior generation Firestone Wide Oval Indy 500 tire. Designed and engineered for use on compact cars, sedans, coupes, muscle, and sports cars, the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 is compatible with vehicles like the Dodge Challenger, BMW M3, Audi S4, Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Corvette, Toyota Corolla, Lexus IS, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, and Subaru BRZ.
