It's a very quiet all-season with a 70,000 mile estimated life expectancy according to Discount Tire.
The Hankook tyres also came on my car. Didn’t know much about them so did some research. They invariably get great reviews.
Order directly from hankook Motorsports. They last a hella long time. I run them as my normal tire on two cars. On the dedicated track car I get about 25 hours / 80-100 heat cycles before they brick.
They last a long ass time, you can overheat them but they don't get really greasy. They just kind of fall off a little and stay there until you treat them nicer.
Have a couple sets of the Firestones currently for another car. Will buy more when the need arises.
Spirited street driving with the occasional track day, just fine.
I've got the firehawks on mine and i love them. I chose them precisely because of their price.
Can't speak to the super sports, but the firehawks are absolutely worth the money
Tried Blizzaks but went back to iPike Xs. Just can't beat studs.
Beat bang for buck is the Firestone indy500 Firehawk. There is a reason they have a lot of hype around them
I have them and have had them in the past...they're halfway descent. There are much better tires out there depending on what you need. My complaints are that they are not as good as they should be for the rating as far as grip, also they are relatively noisy, and rougher than i prefer.
My 2019 GLI came with the Hankook Kinergy GT. On paper it is considered a premium touring tire, but it is not very good. It is mostly dry where I live, but those things break loose at the slightest provocation - cornering, accelerating, etc. I don't know what they are like in the wet; from what I have read, they are not very good.
