Tires Firestone or DUNLOP

I also really like Winterforce tires. again far less expensive but great tread and can be studded if you want.

I have had the Trailmax Missions on my R1250GS for over a year and 8k miles. Really great adventure tire, decent offroad, great on the road and lasts.

Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's seem to be the best budget performance tires.

After looking into it a bit I went with a set of Firestone Indy500s that mounted and balanced came out to less than $800. Had them for 6 months now, and no complaints so far.

As far as Indycar goes, it is hard to find a more prestigious tire company than Firestone. They have been a good partner to the Series for a long time.

The owners and drivers didn't want to ditch Firestone because their tires don't fail and they never have to worry about safety.

Honestly these are a pretty decent tire in snow and ice having driven the RAV in the snow storm we just got in Mass.

I had my factory Firestone’s taken off at 35k and they probably still had another 5-10k mikes left in them.

I absolutely hated the stock gpr-300s on my ninja. In the dry they worked fine (only lowsided twice in a parking lot from trying to make the smallest possible circles), but I slid out constantly in the wet (thankfully never crashed) at normal lean angles and not very much throttle. I replaced them after about 4k miles.

I had the Firestone Steeltex the ones before the Transforce with good tread They had less cracking than I see on yours. Drivers front blew out on the way home from vacation, 70 MPH and barely missing the concrete median. Personally I would replace them and personally I would not go with Firestone
