People are really enjoying the [Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s](https://www.firestonetire.com/tire/firehawk-indy-500). He friend got a set for his ms3 and likes them.

Once I moved up to Firestone Winterforce, and Winterforce 2 the next year, I was always confident I could keep control in any amount of random mess.

I recently got Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 and they are great especially for $79 per tire.

Tires: Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 225/45/R18. Basically rebranded Bridgestone Potenza RE003 for North America.

Didn't want to spend the money for them this year so I got indy500s and love em. Great bang for the buck. Pretty sticky. Quiet. Cheap.

I have the same type of tires on my 16'. They have been so much better than stock Firestones

I just want to add that through recent personal experience the firehawk indy500 are absolutely fantastic for the money. They look cool, perform well in wet, have fantastic dry grip and road feel and don’t “crash” over certain road imperfections or hum like your wheel bearings are made of wood on the highway. Highly recommend.

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.
