Tires Firestone or Kormoran

I replaced my great condition hankook run flats with cheapo firestone weathergrips and they are better in every way. Warm weather, cold weather, rain, snow.. Better traction and ride comfort across the board.

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.

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.

I have had the Winterforce ones for a couple years now. They seem to be good tires.

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.

I got firestone firehawk as v2 from costco, i don't regret buying it as i can take corner really fast and good tread wear after 17k miles

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

I don't see any tire alternative that is a better choice than Firestone. They aren't perfect, but they are usually very good and don't have a lot of catastrophic failures.

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.

I wanted to write this because there are almost no reviews on this tire online. Firestone claims it's a big improvement over the previous generation. Traction is good on wet and dry roads. Slippage prediction is also decent. Road noise is fine. Ride comfort (in terms of feeling the road) is really good. Steering responsiveness is ABYSMAL. It's like driving an aquarium on top of a trampoline. Due to the fact the sidewall seems to be made of marshmallows, it's quite terrifying doing any aggressive driving. Highway driving, making turns specifically, is terrifying. Overall: Do not buy unless it's for rears only, or you're driving a car that is exceptionally light weight. If the steering and body movement responsiveness was fixed, this would be an excellent tire. Sadly the responsiveness is so bad, the tire feels legitimately dangerous.
