Firestone Indy 500 review
I have had these tires on my truck for a little over 3000 miles, and feel it has been long enough to give a decent review.
They are quieter than my Generals.
Stability seems the same.*
Wet traction is excellent
Dry traction is excellent
Now for that asterisk. I just lowered the truck 2" in the back with shackles. The handling of the truck is noticeably better. But I can feel the truck roll on the sidewalls when cornering quick. For example on a straight road, moving the wheel a little to one side and back real quick. Tire roll is noticeable. It was alot less with the Generals.
Other than that little dislike, I feel they are a great value for $90 a tire before balancing, etc.
