Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 UHP Summer 245/45R17 99W XL Passenger Tire

I have definitely put these tires through the paces the last several months. Dry, wet, high speed (158 mph max), drag racing, track days. I've done it all to these tires. I have to say that I have never in my life had tires that performed this well. I know Subaru asymmetrical AWD helps a lot with traction but I have yet to find the limit of these tires. On the track or off the track, wet or dry, they stick to the pavement like glue. You hear the saying "you get what you pay for" all the time which concerned me at first as these were the cheapest decent tires I could find. They more than exceeded my expectations as I went with them over Potenza S-04's and Contisport Contact's to save money. I highly recommend these tires to anyone who wants a affordable performance tire. No indication of tread wear performance yet. They seem to be wearing great though.

Still very surprised with the tire. I always go for the "cool looking" tire and this one actually performs as good as it looks. I live in an area where we get a good mix of all weather, exceeding expectations every time I rip a turn or launch off the line to beat the merge lane enemy. Quiet, sharp, stout and a very clean feeling tire.
