Tires Firestone or Achilles

The newer style Firestone WinterForce 2 are decent tires. Good tread design, not too hard, not too soft compound. Fairly priced $100-150/ea depending.

On a other note, the Indy 500s are a great tire. 90% of the grip of the Pilot Sports for a fraction of the price.

I have 205/50/16 Indy 500s on Dekagrams and it’s perfect. Have specR lowering springs also. And no rubbing (sits perfect to me).

I now have Firestone Indy 500s and am quite pleased with them.

Firestone indy 500. Rest of the world except usa they are known as bridgestone re003

fantastic tires. on my 3rd set on my z over the years. Great in the rain. good traction. not noisy. and affordable

Another decent tire at a very good price is the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. They handle all the spirited driving I do quite well.

I put about 10 laps on a set of Achilles all seasons on stock power at my last drift event and the tires still look new. I had heard bad things about Achilles but so far so good for me.

Achilles tires are really lightweight and can take some abuse

Buy the best you can afford, but name brand can be deceiving. IMO both Goodyear and Firestone are lower tier brands.

I had Firestone’s (Firestone is owned by Bridgestone) and I hated them with a passion. They didn’t handle the rain or snow good at all, and after only 20k miles I had this, cracking all over the tires.
