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.
I've had the Firestone Weathergrips on my Camry for 4+ years. Solid performance all around - better in snow than any all season tire I have used. Noise has gotten worse as they wear - there isn't any cupping or uneven wear - I think it is just the nature of the tire.
Get the Firestone All Seasons, or Firestone Wearhergrip All Weather tire. Both are excellent for snow, rain - any weather.
I've had both tires in 35s. Rg all the way. Last longer and much quieter in the highway.
I have both. Ridge grapplers on my tundra and trail grapplers on another vehicle. I like the trail grapplers better, and they are quieter. I won't buy the ridge grapplers again.
Firestone Destination AT2. Central Oregon driving in the deserts, highways, ice & snow while often pulling a travel trailer. “No regerts.”
When the lift was installed I got 35 inch trail grapplers and it looked amazing. Highway noise increased a lot. I really loved the tires but in my opinion they worn down very fast.
I don't see any tire alternative that is a better choice than Firestone. They aren't perfect, but they are usually very good and don't have a lot of catastrophic failures.
With 2 sets of Ridge Grapplers, I always had one that the tire shop never could balance. Plus they aren’t any quieter than a mud terrain.
Don’t get Trail Grapplers for the road. Loud AF and bumpy.
