factors.
Ratings provided by
Tire Rack
Note:
The overall ranking of a tire
may not be the best judge of it's performance capabilities
for you.
Look at how each tire performed in the individual
performance factors and decide which is the most important
for your driving style and needs.
Example:
The number one ranked tire may
rate low for tread wear which is your most important
consideration when choosing a new tire. But...the number 3
ranked tire may have a better customer rating for tread wear
which might make this your better choice. To

The Number 1 Rated Tire
Firestone’s participation in the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race
represents one of the longest relationships in motorsports.
When you combine the 54 Indy 500 victories earned by
Firestone at the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, you have rich
tradition backed by a history of performance. The Firehawk
INDY 500 is a Performance All-Season tire that was developed
for the drivers of cars and light trucks that want to
celebrate that tradition by combining Firehawk performance
tires with the INDY 500 and “Wings and Wheel” logo of the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The Firehawk INDY 500 with UNI-T uses Firestone’s
WeatherGrip HP Tread Compound molded into an independent
block tread pattern to enhance year-round traction.
The tread pattern also uses Firestone’s “Power V” derived
technology to further enhance wet traction. Internally, the
Firehawk INDY 500 tire’s twin steel belts and polyester cord
body deliver responsive handling and cornering stability
along with a smooth ride.
Additionally, a single strand of steel that is
spirally-wound is used to form beads that are rounder for a
better fit to the wheel and to further enhance handling and
ride quality. |
