Tires Firestone or Barum

I have Winterforce UV2 tires for my SUV and they are great. Been through some crazy snow in them without issue.

Another set of tires I would recommend that is almost never mentioned is Firestone Destination A/Ts. It has always been my go to truck tire. Although I haven't put them on my Tacoma yet, they did great on our '01 Sierra, '05 Ranger, and my uncle's '16 Silverado.

I have Firestone Destination LE2s, and I haven't had much trouble driving in the snow with them. To be fair I haven't ever had snow tires, so I don't have much to compare to. If you have experience driving in the snow already, and drive slow you should be fine.

I previously had the OEM, Pirelli Scorpion tires which I liked. The Firestone Destination LE3 tires seems to be equivalent to them..

So he did just that, pulled the steel wheel out, added liquid rubber and sealed the fuck outta that hole from the inside. $15 is all it costed me while Firestone would’ve convinced my stupid asss to drop $150 on a tire. I’m so pissed lol

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 got the Firestone Indy 500 in 215/55/17 and they have a LOT of grip but the sidewalls are very soft so there's not much steering feel.

The Firehawk Indy is a really good tire for performance but sucks for every day use. They get very noisy after a few heat cycles and they offer little to no wet grip. In fact once they're around 50% they're straight up ice skates in the rain.
