Tires Hankook or Firestone

I see you already got some tires but for future reference the Firestone fire hawk indy500 is one of the best bang for buck tires out there. It’s been a couple years since I got mine but I think they were around $160 a tire and they WAY outperform the nitto nt555 that costs significantly more. I bought them as a cheap set of tires for the wet weather not expecting anything special and they surprised the hell out of me. I will recommend them to everyone that asks because they’re just that good (for a tire at that price range).

I have Indy 500s on my ND banger tire for the price AND you can drive them in the rain.

While not a 200tw tire the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 (340tw) not only costs significantly less but I've ran them with excellent grip on my WRX.

The original Winter Force tires are streets ahead of the Winter Force 2.

I like my RS4 in the rain. They will slide in tight situations in standing water, but it’s controllable. They’re very steady at speed.

I like the set of firestone winterforce I just put on our XC70 this year so far. Took them out on snow/ice a few times so far and they feel like I would expect any dedicated winter tire to feel. What took me by surprise is how they drive in the dry... perfectly reasonable handling/braking and reasonable road noise for a winter tire. These actually handle and brake better in the dry than bridgestone weatherpeaks.

255 35 20 for Indy 500 also works, I’m using in 21m3p. Range takes a 5% hit.

I just decided to replace all 4 with Hankook Evos. The shop pulled it out and it ran fine, a bit louder.

I’m actually pretty disappointed with me ion evo’s. I got them for my ‘22 LR AWD. At first they were really good - and maybe I got a defective set or something- but at about 18k miles on them I already needed a new set. Even the guys at Discount Tire were pretty surprised they went bad so quickly. I don’t really hot rod the car. For reference my OEM tires were Hankook Kinergy GT and I got about 40k miles out of them. They start out as really good tires so I hope you have better luck than me!

Hankook rs3 am avut si sunt prea galagioase, cam horror…
