Default So long Goodyear

Installed my new Firestone Firehawks yesterday that I purchased from Tire Rack. I have never had a car that it made so much difference in the ride and noise level to change the tires. The Goodyears had 19000 miles with about
5000 left, but the noise level was unbearable. I would highly recommend the Firehawks if you fell the need for run flat protection. :yesnod:
