Tires Firestone or Goodyear

Goodyear Supercar 3 needs the most heat. The stickiest of the three. Good trackable street tire.

I'm 2 months into my fire hawk indy 500's...I CANNOT believe they're so cheap. I'm not expecting much more than 30k miles, but they grip exceptionally well even when I expected understeer, the car maintained its line. They're easily the stiffest tire I've ever owned. That can be a good and bad thing.

So far I haven't really pushed them, and I don't do much more than just some very quick backroad driving and highway miles. I've had them for almost a month (even in below / near freezing) and haven't had any issues unless there was snow on the road (obviously since they're summer tires).

Goodyear Assurance Triple-tread tires (really love these in the snow/wet, great daily tires!)

Another vote for the Firestone Winterforce tires... Michigan's Upper Peninsula, with LOTS of snow, and I travel the entire area. Most of what we get is snow, minimal ice, and after experimenting with several different brands we go back to the Winterforce every time.

Good Year Nordics from Canadian Tire. I loved them, good price, great in slush and deep snow, and Can Tire has a pretty good tire warranty.

That being said if you're looking for cheap NEW winter tires, Firestone Winterforce tires are fantastic. They're kind of loud, but they work great.

I've had Goodyear Assurance before but I had Comfort Tread not the fuel saver ones. I would buy again, they were quiet, good traction, stayed round, held air, etc.

As other have mentioned, that tread issue does kinda remind me of how my Firestone snow tires looked after a couple of summers driving on them and doing a fair amount of burnouts and drifting in my 350HP E23.

Those firestones are horrible. The dealer wants to give you them because they are the cheapest option....if you want winter tires without studs, get something better that was designed to not have studs in the first place.
