Performance

  • The latest Firestone Firehawk Indy 500® tire lets you corner with confidence featuring wide shoulders that increase the tire’s stiffness to provide dynamic cornering.
  • The proprietary Pulse Groove channel in the tread pattern takes water evacuation to the next level helping to improve wet handling* and reduce the risk of hydroplaning.
  • With an improved rubber compound and tread design, the new Indy 500® tire gives you a 20% shorter stopping distance on wet roads, as compared to the prior generation Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 tire.

    Review from Tire Rack consumer
    If you read any review read this one. Slammed GTI 1in off the ground in the front, rear sits slightly higher. Obviously fitment is not immaculate as the fenders cut into the tire even after rolling them due to "bottoming out" for reference my oil pan has scrapes. With that being said they have lasted roughly 20k miles no issues until today. Ive hit many potholes, one did damage to the front left tire this morning and took off an entire strip of the interior tread heard it slapping around, made it home (30 min drive) no loss of air what so ever. Could see the wire. Buy this tire.

    This is a great summer tire but with the groves in the freeways here in Ca. when it rains it can be a little nerve racking. Nothing above 60 mph in CA
