I ran Indy500 tires on my GTI and they are very good .
I rode in a car with Indy 500s. For a tire that is a REAL commuter tire, it grips well and I ASSUME it has decent life and handles rain fine.
Have the Indy 500 on wife’s Vett. Great value summer tire. But for not much more you can get continental ECS02, and those are amazing tires.
I think you may have over spent. I have same thing but I replaced mine with Firestone Firehawk 500s they look great make the car handle awesome and didn't cost an arm & leg. But they are awesome bud.
I have Indy 500s on my E36 M3 and have been very happy with them. Breakaway is predictable, and the limits are high. They're 95% of the performance of a PS4S but 66% of the price.
You need some better snow tires. I had Firestone Winterforce 2 UV tires on my Jeep and almost always just needed RWD in the UP unless I drove to breakers and it was 12” of snow
I just replaced the Firestone weathergrips on my 13 OB. They lasted a good 50k, and were great on the snow and ice and wet roads.
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
I changed tires once, and only once, at Walmart. Everything was awful. The staff were a bunch of untrained amateurs who were impatient and didn\u2019t get the wheel balance right. The car was drivable at 60-80 kph, but it noticeably started to shake at 100 kph (60 mph) on the highway. The Firestones were so incredibly noisy I could barely wait to replace them again.
Dang Firestone charges me 170 and can’t even clean the old wheel weight adhesive (from them) off, plus they overinflated each tire by 10psi. Maybe time to go somewhere else, I mean at least they haven’t damaged my rims like I’ve dealt with almost every other time.
