Firestone firehawk indy 500
 

Just a heads up for those that dont know already, bridgestone/firestone just came out with a new tire a few months back called the indy 500, not to be confused with the wide oval indy 500. Also just an interesting fact from a friend of mine, these tires are really just a bridgestone re-003 rebranded as a firestone and the price to match. I picked mine up from tirerack and had them installed for just slightly over $800 just to give you an idea of how good of a price these tires are going for right now :)

What size did you got with! I need some 265/305s soon.

Went with stock 245 front 275 rear

Are the QUIET ?

Damn... after doing a little reading, these seem legit. The price is incredible... might have to seriously consider these when the time comes.

thx for the tip! :tiphat:

Significantly more quiet than stock

These replaces RE760 in the rest of the world.

They also replace the re760 here, but are known as the the bridgestone re-003 in places like japan and australia where they have received very positive reviews

Edit: just saw your post in other group, sorry for the repost of information you already know :)

^ I made that distinction because RE760 is still concurrently available in US, it's not a knock on this tire.

Also, not sure why other people still have a stigma over the firestone brand....these days a lot of their product lineup is just rebadged bridgestone product. I know one thing for sure, these tires for the price stick really well to the pavement especially when they warm up :D

I think tirerack might be getting close to selling out of the re760, when i went to buy the indy 500's a couple weeks ago they had them listed at less then 4 in stock for the stock sport rays on the rears

^ cool. The funny thing was TireRack actually had these new Firehawks listed before the Firestone Autocare's site. Wife's G needs new shoes soon, I think these are my choice as well.

For the G sedan size 225/50/18 and 245/45/18, these are 3-4 pounds lighter per tire than RE760 and S04, nice little reduction in rotational mass :)

For 18's i think you can safely knock $100 off the price i paid for 19's with the installation :)

Took the plunge and got a set of these tires as i just DD my car. The only concern will be how well they wear. Will report back.

Think I'm going to try a set of these. With the current discount, I can get them for my sport / touring for right at $700 installed @ a Firestone Center.
