Tires Firestone or Vredestein

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

Vredestein Wintrac Pro 245/45R18 winter tires mounted on MSW Type 48 model 8Jx18 ET40 5x112 black alloy wheels with TPMS for 2019 VW Arteon, with tire bags too. Purchased November 2019, used for 25,456 miles with tread depth currently measured with digital calipers at around 5.3 to 5.8mm so about 7/32”.

Review by Tire Rack finds virtually no shortcomings.

We replaced our tires on our LR Model Y at 28k miles. They’re amazingly smooth and quiet. A significant difference from the Goodyear tires which were such a rough ride - so much so that we were considering replacing the suspension!!! The Goodyear tires also had the foam core supposedly to reduce road noise - but the Vredestein tires are quiet without foam! AND they were cheaper as well.

I have them on 19" on a MYP and on my ice car. They very good. Nice with comfort (since they are a touring tire, not a performances tire) and rides over small bumps well.

I had a friend that got a set of 19's from ebay. He said they were ok but wore pretty quickly iirc.

I had the Firestone Steeltex the ones before the Transforce with good tread They had less cracking than I see on yours. Drivers front blew out on the way home from vacation, 70 MPH and barely missing the concrete median. Personally I would replace them and personally I would not go with Firestone
