Tires Firestone or KENDA

Firestone Indy 500 Firehawk

Very reasonable price for the quality, and they last a while. I had Toyo Proxes T1 Sports before and they were great, but very expensive, and they did not last at all. I prefer the Firestones for daily driving.

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.

I’ve also used 26x2.3 Kenda K-Rads. A little heavier, and not a supple, but the tires wear very slowly. You can get a ton of road mileage out of them.

Kenda happy medium is nice in 2.3. Fast rolling, not too heavy or expensive.

I've had quiet winter tires, to winter tires that roared (Firestone Winterforce)

I had a set of Firestone Winterforce 2's on the WRX, and they were downright dangerous if they were on anything other than snow.
