Some I'm planning on a new set of tires for my Car, currently have Michelin Pilot Super Sports and have been planning on Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Been reading some pretty good reviews about these Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's and they're half the cost of the Michelins and I was wondering if anyone has any experience running these two tires and how they compare as far as Grip, noise and wear.

I run Firestone Indy 500 on my E30 and Michelin Pilot SS on my m3. Honestly for the price the Indy 500 perform comparably as well as the michelin in street driving. I haven’t tracked the car with either tire so i can’t comment on that. I loved the Indy 500 so much i bought them for my old Mini Countryman that i used as a daily. Night and day diff from the runflats that were on them

I have the fire hawks as my street tires and like them a lot compared to the mpss they replaced. I feel like they have a wider operating temperature and more straight line grip. The MPSS were better on the track but I have another set of wheels for that now. When I picked up the firehawks, they were 160 each which made them a no-brainer and they’ve held up really well. I don’t know about the ps4s though.

I highly recommend the General GMax RS. They've got the same grip as the Firehawk, are quieter, and ride better. They're also cheaper. They're a great alternative to Firehawk Indy 500 and PS4S while combining the best attributes of both. I have the Generals on my M3 and the Firehawks on my 335d so I have a lot of miles on both for my comparison.Instagram: @logicalconclusion

My opinion: If you want a tire that will do it all - including handling the occasional track day, and you don't want to get a dedicated tire for the track, get the Michelins. If you're going to be spending a lot of time at the track - get the Indys for the street, then get cheap beater wheels and stick a set of RS4s on them for the track
