After seeing the Ford Explorers flipping over at alarming rates due to faulty Firestone tires I honestly don’t know why you all would want to give Firestone your business and run Firestone tires on your Z?? To each their own. I recently installed four new Yokohama Advan A052’s. Superior dry traction and do well in wet conditions. Overall I had good luck with Yokohama’s over the years. The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are good choices in 325/30/19.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. That being said, I am actually in the middle on this.

Yes, Firestone tires did have a issue with their tires, but was many many years ago. Hopefully by now, they have corrected.

At the same time though, did they really correct? Yes, they were hit with lawsuits/fines/etc., but they are a business to make money (i.e. corporate greed). It's human nature to be really cautious when something catastrophic like the Firestone incident took place, despite how long ago.

Me personally, no, I will not purchase Firestone tires. Nor will I ever buy a Ford.

the dealer should give you a damn refund and new tires if they truly fk'd up your alignment

Eagle · 12-16-2019, 04:38 PM

Looks like your toe needs some adjustment, camber shouldn't do that. Also I ran those tires on another car and they were pretty solid.

For anyone concerned about them being Firestone's yall need to chill out because they're actually just rebranded Bridgestones RE760's or S04's or something

If the ntt indycar series use firestone, , that enough good for me

Congrats on the new tires.

I do not get how people can call themselves enthusiasts - Oh I change the oil every 3k miles and I got that flame map and be gapping people at GappleBees all damn day! - and they never maintain one of the MAJOR COMPONENTS of the car --> The damn tires!

Dude, you're in rainy *** South Florida, driving around in a 300hp, RWD sports car - WITH NO TRACTION!

Stay safe out there and don't let this new set get like the last one.

loiro370z · 12-17-2019, 10:33 AM

don't remind me, about bad tires and rain
