Great tires, low prices and fast delivery.
I got the tires I wanted in the size I wanted delivered to my house so I could take them locally to be mounted. Mine came 2 days early too.

Soft sticky rubber
Excellent tire for the price. Low noise,hard to break contact during the summer. Wet conditions gives it a challenge. Overall Excellent tire.

Great summer tires for the price!
I put a set of these tires on my heavily modded 2011 Volkswagen GTI. Coming off of Continental Extremecontact summer tires these Firestone Firehawks are an improvement in performance. First thing I noticed is the sidewall is much stiffer then the Continentals. This makes for a harder ride but cornering and daily potholes are better.The second thing I noticed about these tires is when you spend them they are very loud! Aside from that they're great summer tires at an amazing price!

Often firestone offers rebates and in my case accepted my Amanon proof of purchase
Known quality brand with a turn key price of lesser known brands. Placed on a Toyota 86 so easy to notice better grip on dry suefaces than the Prius tires that came OEM. I do not track or push the car hard so can not comment on how they do if I did. Firestone was offering a rebate but it seemed as though it was only when purchased from firestone stores and major online sources like Tire Rack. Was pleasantly surprised when I received the rebate after submitting Amazon proof of purchase.

GRIP 💪
I put them on '18 Hyundai Elantra Sport. 225/40/18. The car has been modified and is laying down about 250 h.p. to the ground. These tires grip the road so well. I will be buying another set. Firestone you did good on these tires.

Great summer street/ track tire
Mounted on my GTI. Drove on them to the track and had my Yokohama AD08 track tires in back. Decided to give these a try while doing some laps learning a new track. They performed nicely as I picked up speed. GTIs have a tendency to scuff up front rubber due to fwd, but with my LSD these tires performed well. If tracking on them you do want to stay aware of the tire temp. Not the best compound under high heat. Probably better for auto cross where you’re on the course less time. As a summer performance tire on the street, these will perform as well as the Michelin SS with less investment. I used the extra money saved on more brake pads!

Good for the price
It looks like a very high performance tire; not sure about mileage because I sold my car a couple of months after I installed the tires. I'd buy it again.

Performance to the fore!
My son has this tire on his BMW 335ix and it is a fabulous summer performance tire. It has been wearing well also. I bought this to replace some Pirrelli P Zero Nero GTs. They did not wear as long as I would have liked. I think that these Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires will have better performance. We shall see when the warm weather gets here.
