Firestone 500
What do you all think about Firestone Firehawk 500's on a C4? My 1990 had Firestone Firehawk SZ50 run flats on it when I got it. It rides ruff and wondered if the 500's would ride better.

The new 500's won't ride anything like the run flats your trying to compare with.
Two different tires.
I have Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval on mine, and the ride is just fine.
The new Firestone 500 tire has replaced the older Wide Oval tire that I have.

Once again, there is more than one "Eagle" tire.
I have also had the Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires.
To me, the Firestones are not quite as good as those Goodyear tires.
The only reason I went with the Wide Oval's was because at the time there was a shortage of the GS-D3.
Both are good tires though.
