Firestone Indy 500 tires
I am looking to replace my current Goodyears Eagle GT 225/70r15s with some new rubber, I was thinking of putting on the Firestone INDY 500'S, they seem to have received some good reviews, looking for comments, thanks

Re: Firestone Indy 500 tires (BobSpin)
So far, I've been really pleased with my Indy 500's. I think my set cost ~$330 mounted and balanced at a local tire store. They have good treadwear, temperature, and traction ratings. I give them two thumbs up in "simple ride and drive qualities" :thumbs: :thumbs:
HOWEVER, do not expect high performance miracles from these tires. They are basically a flashy passenger car tire.
In the future, I plan on upgrading to 17" wheels and tires for better control.

I am trying to sell the Indy's on my car 225/70 so I can put 255/60's on it. The tires have about 5K miles on them.

Thnaks for the response,I think I'll stick with either the BFG TA's or Dunlop Qualifiers, unless I get bad reviews about them too. What about the Yokohamas?
