Its been dry, and they have been fairly broken in by now. Steering response is fantastic compared to the old tires. But I have to agree with tire rack that there isn't much feedback. there is definitely more tread noise on the interstate. GRIP, WOW, This things cling harder than an ex girlfriend with abandonment issues. If you can live with a little more harshness its a night and day difference between this tire and the OE contis.

Pros: fantastic steering response, great grip
Cons: more tread noise, more harshness

I have a set of Indy 500s mounted to 19" rims on my GLI, been running them since January. Couldn't be happier, they are truly well rounded performance tires. They are awesome on wet roads, they have good acceleration/braking and corner grip. For the price and performance they are a good deal.

Pros: awesome on wet roads, good grip
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I just had a set of firehawk indy 500 tires installed on my car on monday. I thought i would share my feedback as to how they perform on the car. Steering response... Wow This is so much better. the car is way more willing to turn. there is less delay between the steering wheel and the car moving. Wet traction is a huge step up. Ride. I havent noticed a huge Decline in the ride. Noise, at city speeds the noise has been minimal, no real difference.

Pros: better steering response, huge wet traction
Cons: more tread noise

Conti DW is a good tire. A bit soft of a sidewall so some vague response. Bridgestone Potenza s04 pole position is better. Better response. Good in wet and good life. Closest to a Michelin Pilot super sport you'll get. Tire Rack rated it a close 2nd if I remember right. I have had both on my M3. I'd get the Bridgestone again, have them now.

Pros: better response, good in wet, good life
Vehicle: BMW

Bought new tires - Bridgestone Potenza RE002 205/50R16. Yeah, it is not stance size, but I'm very bored of driving my static low Corrado with low profile tyres, and would like to enjoy the driving R36 engine without slow down before every pit

Pros: new tires
Cons: not stance size
Part number: RE002

I'm 2 months into my fire hawk indy 500's...I CANNOT believe they're so cheap. I'm not expecting much more than 30k miles, but they grip exceptionally well even when I expected understeer, the car maintained its line. They're easily the stiffest tire I've ever owned. That can be a good and bad thing.

Pros: grip exceptionally well
Cons: stiffest tire ever owned

my buddy just picked up ws70's for his 2011 wrx. yesterday we went for a ride up the mountains and both of us where dissapointed in the ws70's. There was no snow or ice, but we did hit wet/damp roads and the ws70's where very squirmy in the corners. they sort of understeer then snap and oversteer. I wouldnt suggest them if she does any sort of spirited driving.

Cons: very squirmy, understeer then oversteer
Vehicle: Subaru
