Tires Firestone or Nokia
I rode Indy 500s on my focus st for many years. The performance and price are amazing. The amount of grip transformed that car. The ride quality is a little harsh but not noisy.
Had the 500s on my old BRZ, they were amazing, especially in the wet which is hard to find on summer tires.
The Indy 500s are an amazing tire.
The big thing I love about the Indy 500, is that it has amazing wet performance compared to other tires I've run. It holds lateral g's very well and the tire wears evenly as long as you are aligned correctly. I've had some other summer tires that tend to wear on the edges way faster.
I was really happy with the Indy 500’s on my VA. Might get them again for my VB when I can justify it. Highly recommended
Had a set on my car that I just sold. In 40000 miles of having them, they were still at 80%. Noise wasn’t bad, and grip was pretty good for what they are (I’m a bit aggressive on highway on/off ramps).
Firestone Indy hawk. Good summer tire
Looks like Nokia Hakkapeliitta, really good winter tires If DOT etc are allright then those would be good choice.
I have two Nokians on my wife’s CX9, and like them a lot.
Personally, I think a Hakka 1 or Hakka 2 is too agressive a tire for an AWD NJ daily driver unless your commute is only a couple of miles. They'll corner like you have four gum-erasers mounted and at least double your road noise.
Not a fan of Nokian, they slip like crazy. I have some of their all seasons on my RX350 and they are like hockey pucks, just sliding everywhere.
