Awesome summer tire
Review for Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 225/45R17XL 94W BSW
"I am running these on my wifes CT200h for summer tires. This tire shocked me how quiet they are how good they handle and made a world of difference in the cars response. Ours is a special edition F-Sport so it has sways, different struts, lowered and it handles far better than a base model. Very well priced tire for how good they are. Rain excellent, cornering excellent, no weirdness over road cracks either."

Serious competition
Review for Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 225/40R18XL 92W BSW
"These tires are seriously under rated. Not only are they a great price but they are a steal foe what you get. Ive had a lot of cara kver the years. Being a mechanic my self im always tuning and pushing whatever my current ride is to the edge. I installed these firehawks on my stage 3 b5 S4 and these tires put the power to the ground. A few trips to the drag strip along with some very spirited mountain curve road driving and they haven't disapointed once. Rainor shine they perform. Even had a few very high speed runs and not a shimmy or shake. Will definetly buy another set when these ones are done."

Daily conmute tire
Review for Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 225/40R18XL 92W BSW
"I buy this tire cause I have a problem with my original tire ( same model, brand, size), overall I can tell that is a really nice tire, I use this one in a staggered setup (this is my front tire) and when I need to buy another set , I'll buy it again. The price, design performance and quality is very good. This is a summer tire, I live in Texas, so basically you can use it the whole year except the 2 or 3 days when is freezing. By the way is mounted in BMW 328i"

These tires have no business being as cheap as they are.
Review for Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 225/45R17XL 94W BSW
"I've driven on these tires in the hot dry summer, the wet fall, and in near freezing temperatures now that winter has hit. So far they've performed amazingly well in all conditions however I expect them to fail miserably in the snow, but that's not what they're designed for. I'm thoroughly impressed with these tires and the only question remaining is how well they wear and how long they'll last."
