When I first started autocross, I was on mismatched all seasons with different tires all around. A local autocrosser with old tires took pity on me and gifted me a set of used Toyo Proxes R1R he didn't need any more. Mind. Blown.
People are really enjoying the [Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s](https://www.firestonetire.com/tire/firehawk-indy-500). He friend got a set for his ms3 and likes them.
Once I moved up to Firestone Winterforce, and Winterforce 2 the next year, I was always confident I could keep control in any amount of random mess.
I recently got Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 and they are great especially for $79 per tire.
Tires: Toyo Proxes T1 Sport
Tires: Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 225/45/R18. Basically rebranded Bridgestone Potenza RE003 for North America.
Ended up going in a completely different direction. Found the Toyo Open County AT2 for 20% off, making it significantly cheaper. Couldn't say no given the price.
Didn't want to spend the money for them this year so I got indy500s and love em. Great bang for the buck. Pretty sticky. Quiet. Cheap.
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 a set of Firestone Winterforce 2's on the WRX, and they were downright dangerous if they were on anything other than snow.
