Tires Firestone or GT Radial

Firestone Tires

Firestone Indy 500’s are a cheaper option that gives similar grip to continental extreme contact sports. They are just horrendous in the rain

Pros: similar grip to Continentals
Cons: horrendous in the rain
Vehicle: Dodge

Have a couple sets of the Firestones currently for another car. Will buy more when the need arises.

Spirited street driving with the occasional track day, just fine.

Pros: fine for spirited driving

I've got the firehawks on mine and i love them. I chose them precisely because of their price.

Can't speak to the super sports, but the firehawks are absolutely worth the money

Pros: worth the money

I'm extremely happy with my Firestone Destination X/T's in LT285/65R20E. They are quiet, good in the rain and very solid feeling even on my 1 Ton.

Pros: quiet, good in rain

One of the TireRack reps suggested the Firestone WeatherGrip tire. He drives an Alltrack and said that tire is the best all season/winter mild tire, but not at lot of people buy it because they think is not a really all season.

Pros: best all season/winter mild tire

GT Radial Tires

I found GT Radial Champiro SX2 was pretty decent for around the same price as Kendas with similar performance and similar but not as much longevity.

Pros: similar performance, decent price
Cons: less longevity

The Firehawk Indy 500 tires aren't perfect but they hold up well on a track known for eating tires. Additionally they are predictable in wet/dry conditions which is perhaps more important for learning.

Pros: hold up well, predictable
Cons: aren't perfect

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.

Pros: good tire for performance
Cons: noisy, little wet grip
