Tires Firestone or Uniroyal

I just had a set of firehawk indy 500 tires installed on my car on monday. I thought i would share my feedback as to how they perform on the car. Steering response... Wow This is so much better. the car is way more willing to turn. there is less delay between the steering wheel and the car moving. Wet traction is a huge step up. Ride. I havent noticed a huge Decline in the ride. Noise, at city speeds the noise has been minimal, no real difference.

The Firehawk indy500 is actually a rebranded Bridgestone Potenza RE003. Really good tire for the price.

GM used to put Uniroyal Tiger Paws on their trucks, and I don't know what the number was, but it must've been high because those damn tires last forever and still looked brand new. I think I finally tossed them at 120K miles.

I'm running firestone firehawk Indy 500's. really grippy, and really quite actually

I'm 2 months into my fire hawk indy 500's...I CANNOT believe they're so cheap. I'm not expecting much more than 30k miles, but they grip exceptionally well even when I expected understeer, the car maintained its line. They're easily the stiffest tire I've ever owned. That can be a good and bad thing.

So far I haven't really pushed them, and I don't do much more than just some very quick backroad driving and highway miles. I've had them for almost a month (even in below / near freezing) and haven't had any issues unless there was snow on the road (obviously since they're summer tires).

I know TCL hates them, but I think the Uniroyal Tiger Paw is a good tire for the money. It's not high performance, but they are adequate, quiet, and can realistically last the 70k miles for which they are rated.

Another vote for the Firestone Winterforce tires... Michigan's Upper Peninsula, with LOTS of snow, and I travel the entire area. Most of what we get is snow, minimal ice, and after experimenting with several different brands we go back to the Winterforce every time.

That being said if you're looking for cheap NEW winter tires, Firestone Winterforce tires are fantastic. They're kind of loud, but they work great.

Uniroyal Tigerpaw inner lining exploded from over inflation.
