Got them on my subaru legacy. It's made a moving boat feel even more pleasant to drive haha. Can absolutely agree with your mention of how it soaks up the bumps and potholes. Stopping and cornering on these without much fear either.

I will be picking up a set tomorrow. I hope they are as good as they are rated to be. I like the design (not necessary) and they are 81.70 a tire for my car. super affordable for my rice burner! I will be testing them at an autocross event at the end of the month, I may also do a follow up on their performance!

More grip overall, especially around corners. I went with 245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the rear. I say purchase these tires, you will be happy.

Hey WarMachine do you (or any others out there) have any experience with the Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 pus all seasons? Supposed to be 95% dry grip of their summer only tires but can take cold temps. I have a 2008 LS3 Vette with only 436HP and with the original Goodyear Eagle F1 super car run flat tires I can not even launch at 1/2 throttle on a 90 deg day without lots of spin. I live in Cleveland so some mornings I will drive in 20 deg temps until it warms up later in the day.

There is an "outside" mark but they are NOT directional. This is why the tread direction is different from left to right side of the car. I find that weird an unsettling. I got 400 miles on mine. They have good grip, but compared to Michelin they are kinda numb and cannot tell if I am running over the head or the tail of a coin.

After seeing this video, I can't wait to get these tires on in the spring. I'm currently using Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my 427 Z06. If I hadn't gotten a set of Pilot SS's at the Tire Rack for half off, I would've gotten these tires. I've used the Fire Hawk SV, SVX, SVZs on my modified IROC-Z. They were the best. Much better than Pirelli, BF Goodrich, Goodyear...

Oval. Less rubber to ground but the rubber that is on the ground is damn near drag radial. I only use indy 500's on the rear. They are absolutely amazing tires for the price. I prefer these over nt555 just because there are very good in water also.

I want to buy those for my Challenger. I hear they are good. Only problem is that I nave two new Good Year F1s so I would probably stay with them and put on two Indys. Worst case, I guess I could by to more Indys since they are so cheap(half price of the F1s)

I have gone through 1 used rack and 1 new rack. The 302 r version wasn't available. Check the driver side rack boot gets a tear from the oil service door when opened. Mine actually had water in the rack computer board.

It is not stupid! They turn easier because they are a summer tire! They are made from a harder rubber compound which also makes them easier to turn

I have a 2016 Mustang Ecoboost. Currently have Nitto 555 G2's on, 255 width. I am considering going to the Indy 500 tire. And moving up to a 265 on 19 x 8.5 rims. Did you go through with your purchase? If yes how do you like them?

@@Orcinus1967did you go through with that ? i’m in the same boat with the nitto and indy’s. my only concern is tread life and high speed grip in corners. I drive an awd q50 and i’ve loved my nitto’s for their ability to hold the car still at high speed cornering. hope i’m not disappointed.

​@@adamowens5507 I never had a full set of Firehawks on my car if memory serves me correctly. If I did, I don't remember being dissatisfied with them. I live in the desert, in southern CA. With the exception of this rare El Nino event that started last fall, rain is rare here. So soft compound, summer tires are a year round thing here, if you want. Tread life on soft tires? Huh? I always maintained that you have to pay to play. If you want to play around with soft tires, don't complain that they wear out. If you want performance and long life go ahead and pay for the Michelin Sport whatever tires, at $330 a tire. I understand you are not whining here, so don't take this personally, I just get tired of people who want everything, but aren't willing to pay for it, people who want performance but get pissed because they got the performance, but it didn't last forever. Or people who bought performance summer tires, and complained that they didn't work in 40 degree winter weather. What I found was that the Nittos had adequate performance without a huge price tag. The more I abused them, the quicker they needed replacement. At the time they were about $220 per tire. Others may have been comparably priced I just never got around to buying them. Certainly there were other tires that were more expensive. Since I was on the road not the track, Nittos fit the bill. As far as cornering, results may vary! I try to push it where it isn't critical. Meaning if the tire breaks lose, I wont't damage the car too bad when I find out what the limit of traction is. Empty parking lot, curve that I can go off of without dying, that type of situation. Good luck on your journey, may the road rise up to meet you, but not too fast!

It can take a few hundred miles to wear away the factory film that’s on new tires, which act as a preservative and protectant during storage and transport. Anyways, I’ll probably be replacing my OEM P-Zeros with these rather than the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S just to save some $. I’m just curious to the longevity and grip rating as they age. These properties are high in the PS4S, which are among the reasons for their high price.
