## Overview

The Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 225/40R18 tire is a W-speed rated, ultra-high performance summer tire engineered with proprietary Pulse Groove technology for superior water evacuation and 20% shorter stopping distances on wet roads. Featuring wide shoulders for enhanced cornering stiffness and an aggressive asymmetrical tread design, it delivers confident handling and bold style for driving enthusiasts seeking race-inspired performance at a great value.

## Description

The Firehawk Indy 500 tire is Firestone's ultimate in sport performance, inspired by our racing heritage. With our new tread design featuring a proprietary Pulse Groove water channel, we have dramatically improved handling and braking on wet roads (as compared to the Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 tire). And with a new outer tread design, you can take a corner with great confidence. So if you're a car enthusiast looking for a tire that can provide extreme performance and extreme fun, this is the tire for you. W speed rated.

Review: 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!
Review: 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.)
