Tires Firestone or Shinko

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

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

I have shinko 805/804s, they are pretty identical to the 606s, and I absolutely love them. If you balance them well they ride good at 75mph, and handle dirt fantastic.

I switched to the shinko 244 front and have loved the d606 rear combo. It dives into the corners on the road and will give you about 80% confidence on the dirt.

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.

Not a Subaru owner :( but I run Firestones xt destination on my yoda and truck. I’ve had Toyo open country’s and wild peaks on my truck and I honestly like the Firestone’s better for everyday use light off roading and styling.

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.

The Firehawk Indy is a really good tire for performance but sucks for every day use. They get very noisy after a few heat cycles and they offer little to no wet grip. In fact once they're around 50% they're straight up ice skates in the rain.
