Tires Firestone or Maxxis

For performance tires, the best bang for buck is the Firehawk Indy 500. I have them on my Skyline and they transformed the feel. There's more grip, I'm more confident in it, and they didn't cost a ton of money. Plus they look awesome.

ive commented a few times about these tires, theyre great. grippy enough for fun, compliant enough for daily drivability, and cheap enough that you can replace them at will. highly recommend.

From what I've read, the Indy 500s are superior to my stock tires in every way and are also $70/tire cheaper.

I use these a summer tire on my BRZ and they're great, they tick all the boxes at a great price. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely better tires, but I could get two sets of these for the price of Michelins.

I literally just installed these last night on my car. I totally agree with you. Look great, road noise is great, and grip is great and very noticeable.

I've had these on my Civic SI for over a year. They aren't as good in grip as PS4S's but far better than the budget tires I've driven on in the same price range. They seem to fare better under heat than the Extreme Contact Sports, and are predictable.

I felt the difference immediately in terms of grip and also road noise ( of which I was most presently surprised). Had a couple rainy days and I can say I have never experienced tires that can grip so well in the rain. These tires however I never had an issue in terms of grip they just love to hug the road and make the car feel so planted.

Running them on my MINI Cooper S and they did fantastic on the Dragon! So far, VERY happy with these - especially for the price.

I got the Firestone Indy 500 in 215/55/17 and they have a LOT of grip but the sidewalls are very soft so there's not much steering feel.

I purchased a new MTB with the Minion setup, and figured that since they’re so well renowned, I might as well give them a chance. After 250 miles, I’ve decided that I despise these tires more than anything else I’ve ever ridden. The DHF has NO CORNERING GRIP. I have washed out more times on this tire than I have in what feels like my entire riding career prior to using the DHF. I’ve pinch flatted two DHRs. One sidewall snake bite, one puncture straight through the middle of the tread. Lastly, they have god-awful climbing grip.
