Tires NITTO or Firestone

Firestone Indy 500 Firehawk

Very reasonable price for the quality, and they last a while. I had Toyo Proxes T1 Sports before and they were great, but very expensive, and they did not last at all. I prefer the Firestones for daily driving.

The Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 are an Ultra High Performance Summer tires and have been a great for me. They were super popular when I last bought tires at least. Maybe there is some new hot affordable performance tire? Definitely would recommend checking them out. They handle a stage 2 tuned mk7 gti pretty well for what it’s worth.

Im running the firestones on my s4. Definitely would recommend those.

I save some cash and can get in sooner with a local Firestone. They do good work and have never let me down.

For summer tires I'd go with Michelin pilot sport 4s if you have cash to burn or Firehawk indy 500s if you are looking for a good price/performance balance.

In the end, anything is better than that garbage Firestone FR740 OE tires. That tire is crap on light snow, and so so in the rain. I am very happen I have better tires now.

Firehawk Indy 500. Fantastic value, outstanding dry and wet performance. I had them on my last car (Taurus SHO) and immediately put a set on my CC. Love them.

I’ve never used them on a Miata, but I’ve gone through two sets on my Jetta GLI and another set on a big-turbo Audi A4. I think they’re fantastic for the price. Perfect balance of grip and longevity. They’re not the greatest in heavy rain or standing water but they’ll do the job if you take it easy. Obviously not something you’ll want to run in the snow although I did this year due to laziness (couldn’t make it up my driveway). I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another set.

I had NeoGens on a G35 Coupe and liked them ok. Continentals are better IMO.

I've had the Nitto Ridge Grappler in a 285/76r16 for about a year and a half now with about 19k miles. I just went in to get them rotated and they told me I should consider new tires, because they're down to 4/32 in the middle and 7/32 along the edge. Of course they also don't have a mileage warranty, so I'm disappointed to say the least and won't be buying them again.
