I have been running the firehawk indy 500's for the last few months and can personally say i love them and they are very grippy and communicate really well to let you know when they are at the limit

Thank you for that heads up! I already got the tires installed, I live in Toronto, so the tires set me back $884 taxes in, balance and installed.

The tires so far have been fantastic! Grippy and responsive! I look forward to a good time with these tires! Tread life will have to wait, have only 100 km on them so far!
