Firehawk Indy 500 V2 Customer Reviews
Corvette
Much better than I expected. My old tires I could just burn off. These things grip too good! My little C5 is a perfect match with 350hp to these tires. IDK how many miles I’ll get because I don’t drive that much and when I do it is track type driving.
Challenger
I will get them again! :)
Firebird
Very happy with my Discount Tires branch
M4
They perform great and look great too
Golf
I gave the mileage and wet 3 stars only because I haven't really driven in the rain much and only 1200 miles on them can't give fair report on those
