Put on a set of Firestone RFT Wide Ovals a few thousand miles ago. I don't push very hard, but the tires show almost no wear and are much quieter that the Goodyears. Have also done some rain driving...no issues. The price difference between these and the GYs is a bunch. Unlike some forum members, I got lucky. I made only one phone call and had all four on the car in less than an hour. Anyway, I recommend.

I started using Firehawks on my '86 and was so happy with them that I've used them on all my vettes (4) ever since. I can't recommend them highly enough. Quiet, sticky, great wear & look good too.

I will most likely go with Firestones when my OEM tires wear out. The other tire on my list would be the PS2 ZP. My only worry is that when these tires get older will they also howl like the goodyears or worse. Anyone have decent mileage on the firestones?
