Tires Firestone or OEM FORD

I've been pretty happy with the cost/benefit of Firestone Indyhawk/Indy500/whatever they're calling them these days, on the stock wheels. They don't last long (I get 10-15k miles out of a set) but they're damn cheap ($650-$750), and break traction quite easily and predictably, if you enjoy going a little sideways often. I usually am running the Flying Miata alignment specs with these tires break loose fantastically easily and enjoyable for me on that alignment. On a factory alignment though they are reasonably grippy for spirited street driving. Again though the biggest benefit of them is they are super widely available (because Firestone) and CHEAP.

Very happy with Firestone Destination XT. As quiet as all seasons, great snow traction more than decent offroad

Wind. I see it all the time here in the Southwest. Washboard road patterns emerge like sand dune shifts in the Sahara. Couple that with constant movement from tires on vehicles, it makes it worse.

I have done both FireHawk and G Max and been impressed with comfort. Way better than the OEM continentals that it came with, and much cheaper than Michelin.

I had the Firehawk Indy 500 from Firestone on, and they we're great. Lot's of grip going around corners and still felt very secure during heavy rain. I paid around 900 for a set of four on my 18 inch wheels.

Firestone fire hawks. But the ride is perfect and so is the handling with those tires, for me at least. I have continentals currently, and I much prefer the Firehawks.

Indie Firehawk 500s. I love them. Nice summer tire.

Put these on my Tundra recently. Tire looks great but def a bit noisier than the Firestones.

These are the worst tires I've ever used. At 8000 miles they needed to be replaced. All four tires had even wear they're not worth the price that Firestone charges for them.

Do NOT buy Firestone Tigerpaws. Under the blue white wall protection is a 1" "whitewall" that the carbon in the rubber penetrates right thru. They are tobacco brown in just a few days. Garbage product.
