Tires Toyo or Firestone

For performance tires, the best bang for buck is the Firehawk Indy 500. I have them on my Skyline and they transformed the feel. There's more grip, I'm more confident in it, and they didn't cost a ton of money. Plus they look awesome.

I got the Toyo ultra z900 for my 3, and put 114,000 miles on them. They were only supposed to be 80,000 mile tires. And they still had a bit of tread.

ive commented a few times about these tires, theyre great. grippy enough for fun, compliant enough for daily drivability, and cheap enough that you can replace them at will. highly recommend.

From what I've read, the Indy 500s are superior to my stock tires in every way and are also $70/tire cheaper.

I use these a summer tire on my BRZ and they're great, they tick all the boxes at a great price. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely better tires, but I could get two sets of these for the price of Michelins.

I literally just installed these last night on my car. I totally agree with you. Look great, road noise is great, and grip is great and very noticeable.

I've had these on my Civic SI for over a year. They aren't as good in grip as PS4S's but far better than the budget tires I've driven on in the same price range. They seem to fare better under heat than the Extreme Contact Sports, and are predictable.

I felt the difference immediately in terms of grip and also road noise ( of which I was most presently surprised). Had a couple rainy days and I can say I have never experienced tires that can grip so well in the rain. These tires however I never had an issue in terms of grip they just love to hug the road and make the car feel so planted.

I can't input on the stretch, I am running the proxes 4 , I'm running a 19x8.5 with a 215-35 so my stretch is not close to what yours will be but I can tell you these tires are super loud with tons of road noise.

I've run the PSS and I have the 500's on my 135 as throwaway summers. They're soft and comfortable and grip OK... but they're numb and greasy at the same time. Very Meh tire.
