Firestone Tires

I like firestone firehawk indy 500. summer tire. sticky. reminds me of the old yokohama S.Drive. Plenty of grip wet or dry, and in dry it's the only one that's let me put down full power coming out of a corner without going all spastic or lighting the traction control lamp.

Pros: plenty of grip, sticky
Cons: lasts relatively OK
Vehicle: MINI

Put Firestone Destination AT2s on mine. Great tire and good meaty look. The positive is that fuel economy only went down by 2 to 24.7 from 26.7.

Pros: good meaty look
Cons: fuel economy decrease
Vehicle: Hyundai

2013 cooper s bought new. Came with conti all season runflats, couldn't put down power. No grip. Harsh.

Not a month later went to Michelin A/S pilot sport all-seasons.. better, but still couldn't mash the gas coming out of a corner.

5 years later went to the ones I still run today, the Firestone Indy 500. Posh ride, great grip, and I can put full power in 2nd coming out of a corner. Behaves identical to the Yokohama S.Drives I used to have on my Rx-8. Where I live it doesn't even get down to 45\*F so I don't worry about all-seasons anymore. These do magnificent in the wet, too.

Pros: posh ride, great grip
Cons: no grip, harsh
Vehicle: MINI

Firestones will have the best handling characteristics of the 3 options for spirited driving. Michelens the worst.

Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Don't think you can beat the price ($150/tire installed when I got them) and they do great in rain. I've put 40k mi on mine and they have probably got 20k more in them.

Pros: great in rain, good price
Mileage: 64000 km

The tires I currently have are Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s, which were on the car when I bought it. For my use case I generally like them, with one exception: wet weather performance. Even though moderate NorCal doesn't see too many rainy days, I've felt myself losing traction/hydroplaning on quite a few occasions. If it weren't for this issue, I could easily see myself just replacing them with another set of Firehawks and calling it a day

Pros: good dry performance
Cons: poor wet weather performance, hydroplaning

The Firestone destination le2 are straight garbage. Mine have 32k on them and they have zero grip in the snow, even in light powder snow. I might replace them before they are worn just because of how dangerous they are in wet and snowy conditions

Cons: zero grip in snow
Mileage: 32000 km

My dad had a Ranger that came with the recalled infamous Firestone Wilderness AT's. When they did the recall, they put the shittiest summer street tires on as a replacement with absolutely no traction in the snow. That's the worst tire I've ever ran on a vehicle.

Pros: none
Cons: no traction in snow
Vehicle: Ford Ranger
