Just put a set on yesterday.. Good looking tire.. Hard to tell of course with brand spanking new tires but they feel like they'll be seriously nice in the twisties. Any others with experience with these?? Car is an 08 FA5.. Wow how out of alignment the car was though.. I guess the run in with the flatbed that pushed me out out of the road onto the shoulder really knocked things loose. Was nice to get back to spec.

Firestone Firehawk's

Happy 4th of July!!

I put a set of these on last month, They are great tires IMO. They handle well dry/wet and the ride feels smooth. Not to mention they look good too Ive even gotten compliments on the tires

So far they feel fairly good.. I won't really assess them until I guess 500ish miles or so to break in. Ride is pretty close to the oem Mich's I think.. Handling, hard to say as I'm going by memory from when the MXM's were new but I'd say the Firehawks handle pretty well. I haven't really slung them around a bit yet to really tell..

Also, I can certainly tell the car has a different attitude, especially the rear-end after getting the alignment done. Almost feels like a little over-steer maybe. However, I'm not educated enough on suspension and handling to really describe it properly, but the rear end feels a bit "drifty". ?? I'm not certain if this is alignment enduced or tires or combination.

Overall however, I'm pleased with the tires. Fairly quiet I think also.. Maybe a little more quiet than the oems but again that's coming from memory when the car was new some 35k miles ago.

Yeah.. They are dead sexy aren't they.
