Anyone running these in stock 285/35/20's ? They sure are priced right !

I mean't Firehawk.

I'm looking at going that way. Tire rack dropped the price on the 285 recently. Tire rack has some testing against the BFG comp and PZero. The Indy did better.

I have only done the backs so far but I love mine so far. Much better traction than the stockers.

Just picked up mine last night and by the first drive for about 30 miles they seemed to have great ride quality and were alot quieter than the pzeros. I drove it through a couple corners that are marked at 15mph at about 35-60 and managed to keep the rear planted and didn't slide the front.

had a set of firehawk A/S tires on my last car.will probably go with them again when the p zeros wear out.

I picked up a pair of 275 and a pair of 245 to replace my stock Pirelli's. out the door at Discount Tire I paid $588 for all 4. $100 mail in rebate and 5% off first time buyers on their credit card. Pretty good deal! Haven't had a chance to ride on them much. They look nice though!

I just installed these as well. Pricing was very good from firestone and I also got a rebate Visa card. I installed the stock sizes, 275 and 245s.
I have only driven on them a few times but I like them so far. Let's just see how long they last.

I wanted to run these tires. But there is zero inventory nationwide for 305's. They seen to get good reviews and are priced very well.

I bought a set of the Indy 500's last month. 245's were back-ordered until the end of May so I bought 275s all around with 9 and 10 inch wheels.
I installed them at the beginning of May.

I don't have 100 miles on them yet but they seem better than the P-Zeros, especially when cold and wet. I still haven't had much of a chance to push them in better conditions. The turn in seems better, but that is probably because of the fatter fronts.

I missed the rebate by ~2 weeks, but they were still less expensive than the Pirellis.

Indy 500s are also officially discontinued. Buy em while you can.

PostNup · 05-24-2017, 09:24 PM

That's the Firestone Indy 500 wide Ovals that were discontinued

Do you have photos of the 275s on the front? I kind of want to see what that looks like. I got stock sizes on my stock rims. (245 & 275)
