Top 3 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 Reviews

Given 49% while driving a Ford Mustang gt (285/35 R19) on mostly town for 4,000 easy going miles
I thought buying a big name brand I'd be getting a tire that would last more than 4000 miles. The rears are almost down to the indicator. These are on a mustang which has been babied since I got it,no burnout,no linelocks. Just normal driving. They are also horrible in the rain to the point that 40mph is all I will go on wet surface. The car is all over and it's not because it needs an alignment. Definitely will not buy again.

Given 76% while driving a Subaru BRZ (215/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 18,000 spirited miles
The Indy500 was the most affordable UHP tire option I had when I looked for tires (other than kumho's). Despite the affordability, this tire did very well. It lasted 25 000km and 4 track days. On track, it has good grip, but gets greasy after about 3 laps and, on my BRZ with stock alignment, falls into understeer city. The wear on the tire also shows that some camber bolts would have done wonders to help even out the wear during track days. Noise levels are fine, wet grip is very surprising, and on regular roads it's a very fun tire that gives great steering feedback. Unfortunately, the price increase after 2 years is substantial, I won't be buying them again, since for closer to 200$ CAD there are better options, instead of the 150$CAD I paid.

Given 80% while driving a Dodge Challenger (235/55 R18) on mostly town for 20,000 spirited miles
Dry grip is like glue through the corners and off ramps, it gives you plenty of warning before they start breaking loose. Wet grip is iffy, prone to hydroplaning easier than other tires I've had, but just looking at the tread pattern explains why. Tires slip easily accelerating in the rain. Wears pretty good, ive put on 20k miles on these and they've worn normally but still have a decent amount of grip left in them. Very quiet tires, super responsive especially in the corners.

Given 83% while driving a Honda Civic Type R (255/35 R18) on a combination of roads for 20,000 spirited miles
Amazing tires. Bought them lightly used with 6/32 tread left for a steal thinking they hold me over for a few months. Got just over 20,000 miles consisting of daily motorways, city roads, and weekend canyon carves on them to my surprise. Never really broke traction on me at the corners. Great dry grip and did well in the wet too. Very predictable and just works. Wish there was more sidewall as this is a 'narrower' tire but thats just nitpicking. Going a different route with tires this time but I would definitely buy again.

these tires are so much better than my previous michelins as they have stiffer sidewalls that don't squirm during sprited corneing.

Given 76% while driving a BMW M3 (235/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
there tires are the best bang for your buck at this price. they handle great on road and will even do some light tracking. my tires have been installed on my car for 2 and a half years with a few track days a year. the edges of the tires are starting to wear and chuck off as expected with the load and heat cycle from heavier than normal wear. would definitively recommend and buy again.

I have these tires on 12 Jaguar XF Port and a 14 Cadi ATS both RWD. Love these tires. They have never broken loose. Reasonably quiet and niice steering response. Zero complaints.
