Tires Firestone or PHANTOM

ive commented a few times about these tires, theyre great. grippy enough for fun, compliant enough for daily drivability, and cheap enough that you can replace them at will. highly recommend.

From what I've read, the Indy 500s are superior to my stock tires in every way and are also $70/tire cheaper.

I use these a summer tire on my BRZ and they're great, they tick all the boxes at a great price. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely better tires, but I could get two sets of these for the price of Michelins.

I literally just installed these last night on my car. I totally agree with you. Look great, road noise is great, and grip is great and very noticeable.

I've had these on my Civic SI for over a year. They aren't as good in grip as PS4S's but far better than the budget tires I've driven on in the same price range. They seem to fare better under heat than the Extreme Contact Sports, and are predictable.

I felt the difference immediately in terms of grip and also road noise ( of which I was most presently surprised). Had a couple rainy days and I can say I have never experienced tires that can grip so well in the rain. These tires however I never had an issue in terms of grip they just love to hug the road and make the car feel so planted.

Running them on my MINI Cooper S and they did fantastic on the Dragon! So far, VERY happy with these - especially for the price.

Yup! I run these as part of my summer-only wheel and tire package on my Sportwagen here in CO. My car is just a daily driver that I don't push particularly hard and these tires exceed my expectations. Not noisy and plenty of grip. Fine in wet too though we don't get a whole lot of rain and standing water around here. I've only run them one season so far but if they keep performing like they have, I'll continue to buy them.

Versatility is not a benefit if the rain tire or dry tire is suitable in the conditions, because they could just run that tire.

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.
