Stick with the Indy 500 'Stones. Just get the right size! You need 255/60's not 225/70's. Same overall diameter...just a better footprint and much better handling.
Kumho makes an H rated tire in 255-60-15. They're the Ecsta STX. I'm probably going to try that next to see how they do. If they're craptastic, I'm just going to squeeze some 295-50-15s on there and pimp the cantilever.
Go to www.tirerack.com they have reviews on most tires. The firehawks actually got pretty good reviews. I eventually went with yokohamas because the review for them in the larger 255/60 size was better than the firestone, goodrich and goodyear tires.

I chose the 255/60 Yoko's too for the same reason, plus they cost less. If you're hung up on a white letter Japanese name, then mount them black wall out.
