Nice deal on my Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's
Took advantage of sale and ordered a set of new Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires last week.
Original cost of tires + mounting / balance w/tax = $620
Minus $100 Sale Promotion
Minus $40 Mail in Rebate
No recycle fee because I sold my old Michelin run-flats on Craigslist for $100 the next day
So, the tires ended up costing me $380 total + $90 for an alignment … not a bad deal
It cost me more to install new tires on my daily driver last year

Good deal! I just put a set on myself, and I'm pretty impressed so far. Where did you get yours aligned? I'm having trouble finding a place that will do it here in the NJ/DE/PA area.

Prior to this I considered buying the tires from Tirerack and having them installed. Went to four different shops that would not agree to align the car due to low ground clearance. When the Firestone Service Center quoted that tire price and said they could align the car (if needed) for $90 I was pleased.

Yeah, great deal, Firestone was awesome. Now that Bridgestone owns Firestone. I think their better off. I like the way they look too. Feel nice driving too. Way better then my run flats!!!

Someone else inquired regarding the Firestone tire sale. Unfortunately I believe it is over now.

I bought a set on Tire Rack for $794. Not a great deal but ok for a tire set that has great reviews!
