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.

Pros: posh ride, great grip
Cons: no grip, harsh
Vehicle: MINI

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.

Pros: great in rain, good price
Mileage: 64000 km

I’ve run those Toyo’s OC AtIII tires. Worked great on road, off road, and really did well in the snow. I’d recommend them for SUV vehicles.

Pros: great on road, off road

You have at least three I would replace ASAP. Since you drive a lot you need them to keep you safe. Ask them to give you an out the door price and keep the good firestone if you need a spare. The Toyo Open Country tires are a great replacement and road hazard resistant upgrade.

Pros: road hazard resistant upgrade

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.

Pros: predictable tire, good feedback
Cons: greasy feeling

The tires I currently have are Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s, which were on the car when I bought it. For my use case I generally like them, with one exception: wet weather performance. Even though moderate NorCal doesn't see too many rainy days, I've felt myself losing traction/hydroplaning on quite a few occasions. If it weren't for this issue, I could easily see myself just replacing them with another set of Firehawks and calling it a day

Pros: good dry performance
Cons: poor wet weather performance, hydroplaning

15,000 KM after three blowouts. Changed them for some Toyo proxes tm1 225/45R18. So far so good, the ride feels way smoother and I don’t feel like I lost fuel economy.

Pros: smoother ride, good economy
Cons: three blowouts
Mileage: 15000 km

On the gen 3 they lasted until 30k miles, on the gen 4, both cars made it to 25k before replacement was needed. They aren't the best.

Pros: lasted 25k miles
Cons: aren't the best
Vehicle: Mazda 3
