Firestone Indy 500’s a final review

MZ DAIZY

Backs are all but slicks and tried to kill me today in a downpour. Fronts are worn unevenly. Passenger side much worse, but I could probably go another 5000 miles or so after an alignment check and rotation. They did get a bit “Squirrelly” in the rain at about 15,000 miles at anything over 50 MPH.

All told, just a tad over 20,000 miles on them. Never been aligned or rotated. For $900 installed, I can’t complain at all.

Just ordered another set today. Maybe not for everyone, but for a daily driver, 20,000 miles on a set of ultra high performance tires is an incredible bang for your buck.

Would I track them? Probably not, since they are “only” rated a “w” (158 MPH), but on a DD they outperformed anything I ever had, and I’ve had many.

Cheap, quiet, long lasting and grippy. 5 stars!
