Tires Firestone or PHANTOM

I rode in a car with Indy 500s. For a tire that is a REAL commuter tire, it grips well and I ASSUME it has decent life and handles rain fine.

Have the Indy 500 on wife’s Vett. Great value summer tire. But for not much more you can get continental ECS02, and those are amazing tires.

I think you may have over spent. I have same thing but I replaced mine with Firestone Firehawk 500s they look great make the car handle awesome and didn't cost an arm & leg. But they are awesome bud.

I have Indy 500s on my E36 M3 and have been very happy with them. Breakaway is predictable, and the limits are high. They're 95% of the performance of a PS4S but 66% of the price.

You need some better snow tires. I had Firestone Winterforce 2 UV tires on my Jeep and almost always just needed RWD in the UP unless I drove to breakers and it was 12” of snow

I just replaced the Firestone weathergrips on my 13 OB. They lasted a good 50k, and were great on the snow and ice and wet roads.

I’ve had 2 sets of Firestone over the past 5 years. Destination AT2 & Weathergrip. Both great tires in the snow. Weathergrips are not quiet tires though. But no blowout issues.

I don't see any tire alternative that is a better choice than Firestone. They aren't perfect, but they are usually very good and don't have a lot of catastrophic failures.

Dang Firestone charges me 170 and can’t even clean the old wheel weight adhesive (from them) off, plus they overinflated each tire by 10psi. Maybe time to go somewhere else, I mean at least they haven’t damaged my rims like I’ve dealt with almost every other time.

They are pretty good in dry weather, but absolutely terrible in snow. If you typically encounter snow, invest in snow tires.
