Tires Firestone or NANKANG

They’re $30 cheaper per tire than Firestone Fuel fighter. I’ve only read one review and that was a Tesla owner, he seemed happy with them.

Approaching 15.000 km with them, (225 50 r15), thought that may be interesting to refer my impressions. They are perfect off road and on road at 200km/h +, never detecting slippage under rain or in sharp turns. EDL and ABS rarely engaged, (both working perfectly). There are no signs of premature wear, neither they are loosing pressure.

I moved up to Firestone destination LE3 because it is mostly a daily driver for me. If you want a good all season with excellent wet traction and long treadlife and you don't need snow tires, I recommend the LE3. Night and day difference. WV is quite rainy, so I always go for wet traction.

The CRS tires hold there grip very well thru out the life of the tire. They can come to heat cycled from the shop but these do work better if you heat cycle them per their instructions before your track day.

I've been on CRS V1's all year and commute to the track about 130 miles in one direction. I'm getting 20 lapping sessions out of these tires before they start to degrade.

Replaced with Firehawk Indy 500s. Quiet, super-grippy, predictable.

I got some Firestone Destination XTs about 1k miles ago in the stock size. I wanted LT tires for the stability towing. So far they are working great. Way better off road and wet traction then the stock Pirelli Scorpions. But they hang on to gravel bad.

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.

I worked for Firestone installing tires for a while, and those tires are pretty bad. I guess all budget tires are probably the same, but I wouldn't want those on my car. The number of recalls that went out on those was crazy, almost weekly. They also wear pretty damn fast, and don't grip for shit.

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.
