Tires Firestone or OEM Volkswagen

On a other note, the Indy 500s are a great tire. 90% of the grip of the Pilot Sports for a fraction of the price.

I have 205/50/16 Indy 500s on Dekagrams and it’s perfect. Have specR lowering springs also. And no rubbing (sits perfect to me).

I now have Firestone Indy 500s and am quite pleased with them.

Firestone indy 500. Rest of the world except usa they are known as bridgestone re003

fantastic tires. on my 3rd set on my z over the years. Great in the rain. good traction. not noisy. and affordable

These tires were just taken off a two-week old 2022 Volkswagen GTI. The tires were driven lightly during break-in period before dismounting with only 315 miles on them. They are in as-new condition.

Another decent tire at a very good price is the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. They handle all the spirited driving I do quite well.

Overall the I found the GTI was very impressive at a track that doesn't cater to FWD and with terrible 560tw all seasons.

I’ve put Weathergrips on three vehicles, and I’ll continue to put them on vehicles if I have to. Phenomenal winter performance (in Southern Ontario) and absolutely brilliant in the wet. Zero hydroplaning. In the summer, I air them up a few pounds over the car manufacturer spec and they respond quite nicely.

Buy the best you can afford, but name brand can be deceiving. IMO both Goodyear and Firestone are lower tier brands.

Same story. Popped three in the last month, potholes are awful here on Long Island, and my Arteon is paying the price.
