Falken Azenis RT660 or Kumho Ecsta V730. RT660 might be a smidgen faster, but the V730 is more durable and will last for more runs.

Pros: more durable
Cons: smidgen faster

I replaced my great condition hankook run flats with cheapo firestone weathergrips and they are better in every way. Warm weather, cold weather, rain, snow.. Better traction and ride comfort across the board.

Pros: better traction, ride comfort

I like firestone firehawk indy 500. summer tire. sticky. reminds me of the old yokohama S.Drive. Plenty of grip wet or dry, and in dry it's the only one that's let me put down full power coming out of a corner without going all spastic or lighting the traction control lamp.

Pros: plenty of grip, sticky
Cons: lasts relatively OK
Vehicle: MINI

I've never had a more tenderfoot set of rubber on any car and was really glad to have worn them out. Replaced with Kumho tires which ride like a noticeable harder compound/tire and have had no punctures since.

Pros: harder compound, no punctures
Cons: tenderfoot set of rubber

Put Firestone Destination AT2s on mine. Great tire and good meaty look. The positive is that fuel economy only went down by 2 to 24.7 from 26.7.

Pros: good meaty look
Cons: fuel economy decrease
Vehicle: Hyundai

I had them on my excursion and while they do ride nice and look cool they will be a hit on mpg, as all AT tires will. And this is where you have to be honest with yourself, we all want to pretend that we take our SUV, off-road, and have adventures with it but, if I’m being real with myself, 95% of its time on road and that other 5% of the time is not a trail that would require an aggressive tire. I saw a decrease of 15% on both of the SUVs I traded a highway oriented tire for an AT tire. And in all honesty it’s definitely not worth that fuel economy loss. Yeah sure they look cool but now in my jeep grand Cherokee V6, I struggle to get 21 miles per gallon on the highway when on the OE tires I could easily get 25. That really adds up to a lot of Extra fuel

Pros: ride nice, look cool
Cons: hit on mpg

It's wild to me that Firestone has been so invisible and irrelevant in the consumer market ever since the Ford Explorer fiasco, yet still so active in Indycar.

Cons: invisible, irrelevant in market
