Tires Firestone or GISLAVED

The Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 are an Ultra High Performance Summer tires and have been a great for me. They were super popular when I last bought tires at least. Maybe there is some new hot affordable performance tire? Definitely would recommend checking them out. They handle a stage 2 tuned mk7 gti pretty well for what it’s worth.

Im running the firestones on my s4. Definitely would recommend those.

I save some cash and can get in sooner with a local Firestone. They do good work and have never let me down.

For summer tires I'd go with Michelin pilot sport 4s if you have cash to burn or Firehawk indy 500s if you are looking for a good price/performance balance.

In the end, anything is better than that garbage Firestone FR740 OE tires. That tire is crap on light snow, and so so in the rain. I am very happen I have better tires now.

Firehawk Indy 500. Fantastic value, outstanding dry and wet performance. I had them on my last car (Taurus SHO) and immediately put a set on my CC. Love them.

The tires are amazing. I love the grip and control I now have. Granted the tires that were on it were 8 years old (PO has the tires for a long time) so any new tires would make a world of difference

Got 34k out of mine and got a flat so replaced with firestone indy 500 and love them so far. Got 3.5k on them.

I ended up with the firestones. I know they are not the best winter tire but I'd take them over an A/T in the winter. I got my moneys worth the day I put them on because we got a decent "wet" snow storm and the main road out of our neighborhood was closed do to an accident as usual. I had to take a alternate rout which is a steep curvy 1 lane road and I was one of the few to make it all they way out without spending time in the ditch or guardrails.

We just replaced set of Firestones, less than 8000 miles by previous owner, that got hard and tried to disintegrate when we weren’t paying attention; chunks were coming off! Never seen a tire do that before unless it was old.
