Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 UHP Summer 225/55R17 97W Passenger Tire

After running Firehawk Wide-Oval Indy 500s I knew I was going to buy a new set of Indy Tires because I had been relying on these and had come to know their characteristics! When I began to research the options for my new tires I was introduced to the Indy 500 with pulse groove design. All reviews were five Star across the board. I bought a set and I'm here to tell you " I could tell I liked them as I backed off the Four post lift " within the drive home I tested their grip. If you are familiar with traction control on a C5 you Know that hard acceleration with control on and tire slip makes it a on off on off situation as the tires slip and control takes over and then the process repeats, so most of the time with the Wide Ovals, I had to turn control off and contend with wheel spin by feathering throttle. Not the case with new Indy 500s! I can leave traction control on, mash the throttle and never spin the tires enough o activate the computer trying to keep me from having fun. This alone told me how well I could expect the tires to bite during the twisting turns. These tires truly are exceptional on my car as it is set up, it's like I have a new car. Handles great in the rain! I wish everyone could experience these tires on their car, compared to what they had. No doubt they are impressive on a car capable of utilizing the tires capability. Love Them!

I put these on my crown vic ( interceptor modified) for a 25 mile daily commute . Absolutely outstanding handling, wet traction is suburb, and launching on dry pavement superb. The quality delivered is closer to tires twice the price. They aren't as quiet as duelers or a turanza, but they ride good with very low resistance. Couldn't be more satisfied .
