Tires Nexen or Firestone

Bought my truck in 2019 at 55k miles with NEXEN tires, it’s 2024 98k miles and still in the green for discount tires tread chart (8/32”). I was told they are cheap tires but they’re quiet and have held up great.

2013 cooper s bought new. Came with conti all season runflats, couldn't put down power. No grip. Harsh.

Not a month later went to Michelin A/S pilot sport all-seasons.. better, but still couldn't mash the gas coming out of a corner.

5 years later went to the ones I still run today, the Firestone Indy 500. Posh ride, great grip, and I can put full power in 2nd coming out of a corner. Behaves identical to the Yokohama S.Drives I used to have on my Rx-8. Where I live it doesn't even get down to 45\*F so I don't worry about all-seasons anymore. These do magnificent in the wet, too.

I got firestone firehawk as v2 from costco, i don't regret buying it as i can take corner really fast and good tread wear after 17k miles

Firestones will have the best handling characteristics of the 3 options for spirited driving. Michelens the worst.

Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Don't think you can beat the price ($150/tire installed when I got them) and they do great in rain. I've put 40k mi on mine and they have probably got 20k more in them.

Been running them for 3 winters and they've been great.

Firestone Indy 500 tire? What level are you running at and on what car? What is your psi? It's a great novice (to intermediate-ish)tire, but you have to know when to back off. Run them too hot and they'll get a little greasy feeling. Although I can't see that happening after 1 lap.

The Firestone FT140 are annoyingly loud.

that's just a Firestone employee doing their upsell activity - same reason why the Jiffy Lube clowns like to tell you that you are overdue for transmission or brake fluid service.

I would recommend just outright avoiding Firestone. Aside from Firestone tires being garbage (except the Transforce line)
