Tires BRIDGESTONE or Firestone

I have these on a BMW 528i and they’re great. Good responsive steering and is confident in canyon carving in Colorado. I disagree with every negative you listed.

I just installed 4 of these at Costco this week on my 2018 Camry SE for about $750 before tax(Memorial Day sale) I’ve only driven about 50 miles this week but I think they are pretty solid. No noticeable road noise compared to my old tires (hankooks before these). The tread is huge and rated for 80k miles so these are going to last me quite a while barring any bad flats/etc.

I've had great luck with firehawk indy 500. They're 320 tw. I'm an okay intermediate driving a 2010 mx5. I'm not sliding the car around much at all.

They're great street tires and have been able to get more than 6 track days on them thus far. Tires still has more in them.

I ran Bridgestone Duravis R238 on my 43' Cyclone when I owned it. Zero issues, it's a heavy LT highway rib tire

Just went from a Q5S to Q5A (190/55/17) . The grip is similar but there's less squish so it feels a bit more rigid. Rode Malibu canyons all day yesterday. Did great everywhere. The extra grooves helped keep me planted on dirty and wet roads. It's $100 cheaper than Q5S too.

Firestone Indy 500 tires the car is sucked to the ground.

I have Firestone Winterhawk 4, and they are great. Its basically budget version of Blizzaks as they are owned by Bridgestone. I am in central Europe and we have mild and wet winters as well, my driving profile includes everything, I will do 500km on the highway, mountain pass and then city driving and they work perfectly. We have them on 3 cars already. I was thinking about something more premium, but I am perfectly happy with them.

Have had 2 sets of the Bridgestones on my 2019 Rabbit Edition Gti..2nd set was not my choice..but they were free....not 2 bad..kind of noisy 30 K on the first set..OEM

i'd pretty much replace all firestone tires with a better brand.

that's just a Firestone employee doing their upsell activity - same reason why the Jiffy Lube clowns like to tell you that you are overdue for transmission or brake fluid service.
