The Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500� tire's name represents three eras of Firestone heritage while the tires themselves provide today's sports car, sporty coupe and performance sedan drivers with Ultra High Performance Summer tire proficiency. The Firehawk name is from the present where it is shared with the racing tires Firestone manufacturers to support today's IndyCar� championship. The Wide Oval name comes from Firestone's first low profile tires that helped revolutionize high-performance street tires in the late1960s. And INDY 500� celebrates one of the longest relationships in motor sports where winning the first Indy 500� in 1911 and all of Firestone's other victories at the Greatest Spectacle in Racing have established a rich tradition backed by a history of performance.

Like all summer tires, Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 tires are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, throughsnow or on ice.

The Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 uses a high performance, silica-enhanced L.L. Carbon tread rubber compound molded into a directional tread design featuring large independent shoulder blocks flanking twin intermediate ribs designed to provide responsive handling and traction in dry conditions. Three wide circumferential and multiple high-angle grooves are designed to help water flow from under the footprint to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction.

The tire's internal structure features twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon to provide strength, stability and high-speed capability.

Review from June 11, 2016Rating: 6.88My mildly modded mustang puts out around 340 fp torque. I drive it like a ---- maniac 40 to 50 percent of the time. I mean it. Hwy cruising at 90 or 100 mph is fairly normal (with radar detector). Also hard and fast cornering, occasional burn-outs and hard braking. Thisis three summers now on these Firehawk Indy 500 wide oval tires. No problems toreport. The super stickiness went away in about 8k miles. For the money, you can't go wrong. Three summers on these without any complaints- amazing! I will buyagain soon.
Review from June 5, 2016Rating: 8.62On top of commuting with these tires, I also use them when I run autocross. They grip very well. The sidewalls are pretty stiff. They are very predictable. I also use these tires through the winter. Where I live, there is minimal snow (2-3 inches maximum) and there is quite a bit of ice. These tires work exceptionally well in both conditions. Obviously, I would not recommend them as winter tires, but if you can't afford winter tires and summer tires, these will still grip well enough to drive safely. Out of 5 of the Firehawk's I've put on my car, I did get one that formed a bubblein the sidewall, however, this was a simple manufacturer defect and should not be expected.
