Tires OEM Mazda or Firestone

I’ve put Weathergrips on three vehicles, and I’ll continue to put them on vehicles if I have to. Phenomenal winter performance (in Southern Ontario) and absolutely brilliant in the wet. Zero hydroplaning. In the summer, I air them up a few pounds over the car manufacturer spec and they respond quite nicely.

Not a Subaru owner :( but I run Firestones xt destination on my yoda and truck. I’ve had Toyo open country’s and wild peaks on my truck and I honestly like the Firestone’s better for everyday use light off roading and styling.

Firestone Indy 500’s are a cheaper option that gives similar grip to continental extreme contact sports. They are just horrendous in the rain

Have a couple sets of the Firestones currently for another car. Will buy more when the need arises.

Spirited street driving with the occasional track day, just fine.

I've got the firehawks on mine and i love them. I chose them precisely because of their price.

Can't speak to the super sports, but the firehawks are absolutely worth the money

Beat bang for buck is the Firestone indy500 Firehawk. There is a reason they have a lot of hype around them

I'm extremely happy with my Firestone Destination X/T's in LT285/65R20E. They are quiet, good in the rain and very solid feeling even on my 1 Ton.

One of the TireRack reps suggested the Firestone WeatherGrip tire. He drives an Alltrack and said that tire is the best all season/winter mild tire, but not at lot of people buy it because they think is not a really all season.

As other have mentioned, that tread issue does kinda remind me of how my Firestone snow tires looked after a couple of summers driving on them and doing a fair amount of burnouts and drifting in my 350HP E23.

I had Firestone’s (Firestone is owned by Bridgestone) and I hated them with a passion. They didn’t handle the rain or snow good at all, and after only 20k miles I had this, cracking all over the tires.
