Soft sticky rubber
Excellent tire for the price. Low noise,hard to break contact during the summer. Wet conditions gives it a challenge. Overall Excellent tire.

Great tires, low prices and fast delivery.
I got the tires I wanted in the size I wanted delivered to my house so I could take them locally to be mounted. Mine came 2 days early too.

Very good (and good looking) tire
Smooth, grippy in the dry, not bad on the road noise. Great on corners.They look good and ride great on my VW GTI Mk6.Like some other reviewers have said, just OK in the rain. If you drive frequently in heavy rain, this may not be your best choice. (Good enough for most people, though, including me.)

Great summer tires for the price!
I put a set of these tires on my heavily modded 2011 Volkswagen GTI. Coming off of Continental Extremecontact summer tires these Firestone Firehawks are an improvement in performance. First thing I noticed is the sidewall is much stiffer then the Continentals. This makes for a harder ride but cornering and daily potholes are better.The second thing I noticed about these tires is when you spend them they are very loud! Aside from that they're great summer tires at an amazing price!

Good for the price
It looks like a very high performance tire; not sure about mileage because I sold my car a couple of months after I installed the tires. I'd buy it again.

Great grip *updated
*update* by 25k miles they were competely bald. Since 95% of the time i drive like an old man (5% when i need to shut up those "modded" civics), and almost all highways.I usually get double the expected mile life of a tire.So I'll drop them one star due to poor lifespan.Had them on for about 15.000 miles now. Still doing great.We're not great in the snow, but they're not for winter driving.Gas mileage did take a hit, but these are for the traction to drive for fun, not your grandma.

Performance to the fore!
My son has this tire on his BMW 335ix and it is a fabulous summer performance tire. It has been wearing well also. I bought this to replace some Pirrelli P Zero Nero GTs. They did not wear as long as I would have liked. I think that these Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires will have better performance. We shall see when the warm weather gets here.
