I had a set of Indy500; they performed well for a UHP for the price, but definitely noticeable difference with the set of Conti ExtremeContact Sport 02s that replaced them.
Pros: performed well for price
Cons: noticeable difference

General G-Max RS or Firestone Indy 500s are solid options aswell with good grip and way friendlier pricing. I ran Indy 500s on my old Camaro and they felt great in normal driving without being loud or sketchy in the rain.
Pros: good grip, friendlier pricing
Cons: not loud or sketchy
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Camaro
Cooper and Firestone make decent tires if you don't plan on tracking it.
Pros: decent tires
Those are good tires but way too heavy at 44lbs vs 24lbs for stock tires.They will kill your mileage and performance. I went with Firestone destination at2 in 235/65 r17. Only a few pounds more (28lbs) than stock and they perform great!
Pros: perform great
Cons: way too heavy
I went to them for new tires on my Hyundai, my car had 96k on the originals, the wear was even and they still had decent tread. Guess what, they said I needed alignment.
Pros: even tire wear
Cons: unnecessary alignment
Vehicle:
Hyundai
Mileage: 96000 km
Decided on Firestone Affinity. Firestone's higher level brand, Bridgestone's research and development has trickled down to the Affinity AS tires. You can save some money by avoiding the Bridgestones. But 6 months in, with the amount of snow in Chicago this winter, all I can say is I haven't regretted my choice whatsoever.
Pros: no regrets, good in snow
I had a 1999 Explorer and had it at the dealer for an oil change. While it was there word came down from Ford: if it\u2019s an Explorer with Firestone tires, switch to Goodyear! So, for about $40 I got an oil change and 5 new tires (including the spare). Best deal I ever got on a car!
Pros: best deal on car
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer
I have the Firestone XTs on my 3rd gen Tundra, with about 16k miles on them. Good traction all around, and have worn well so far. I like the look of them as well. Only nitpick is they can vibrate a bit under braking at slower speeds.
Pros: good traction, worn well
Cons: vibrate under braking
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
Mileage: 25750 km
I had the Firestone AT years ago on a Ranger. Complete trash! Didn’t last for shit & barely any off-road traction.
Pros: none
Cons: complete trash
Im liking my firestone destination at2. I ripped a huge chunk out of my falken at4w sidewall and all I could get in the small town I was in at the time was the AT2s. I drive a lot of highway on my road trip so the lighter weight and slightly less blocky tread has resulted in a decent boost to my fuel economy. It also seems to be much quieter than the at4w.
Pros: boost to fuel economy
