I have a 2006 z51 convert and am thinking of putting on 4 new Firestone Firehawk run flats. Has anyone had these and whats the opinion of them please?

I just had them installed Friday- they are GREAT! Quieter and handles better than original.Mine is a 2005 base 'vert.I bought them because of all the glowing reviews from members here.You wont be disappointed.

I chose the stoney firehawk non run flats. Know its not what your asking about, but thought I would chime in on them. Seems like a decent tire. Relatively quiet....good grip for a NRF. I would imagine their run flats are equally decent. The NRF's were quite a bit cheaper than the Goodyear run flats....but not sure what the price diff is between the Stoney run flats and non. If you research them let us know.
