Firestone Indy 500 Tires
 

Let see how long the firestone last :icon17:

325/30/19
and 285/35/19, no pictured

;)

I have been very pleased with my 500's, good value for the price.

Going trough my second set of rear,(re-11)front still half tread

After seeing the Ford Explorers flipping over at alarming rates due to faulty Firestone tires I honestly don’t know why you all would want to give Firestone your business and run Firestone tires on your Z?? To each their own. I recently installed four new Yokohama Advan A052’s. Superior dry traction and do well in wet conditions. Overall I had good luck with Yokohama’s over the years. The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are good choices in 325/30/19.

That Firestone sh*t was over 20 years ago man.:facepalm::facepalm:

Ford+Firestone tires=Epic failure

Didn't matter what kind of tire was on the Explorers,they still rolled over.I worked at a Ford dealership back then.

What about the indy nnt series running firestone?
I know those are racing tires, but made by firestone.

Different tires,car,rubber compound,new technologies to make better tires
ill take the risk;)

:iagree:



Remember when Audi had their sudden acceleration problems? They fixed it, and now peeps be buying Audi.

I drive like a granny :driving:, i don't know how the z eat the rear so fast:rofl2:

Your alignment is jacked, that's why.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. That being said, I am actually in the middle on this.

Yes, Firestone tires did have a issue with their tires, but was many many years ago. Hopefully by now, they have corrected.

At the same time though, did they really correct? Yes, they were hit with lawsuits/fines/etc., but they are a business to make money (i.e. corporate greed). It's human nature to be really cautious when something catastrophic like the Firestone incident took place, despite how long ago.

Me personally, no, I will not purchase Firestone tires. Nor will I ever buy a Ford.

Lies. Those pics you posted are exactly the opposite result of "granny driving".

Didn't Yokohama have a recall last year due to failures, If my memory serves me... Point is, All manufacturers have occasional hiccups. I don't think I'd bash the whole line, or choose not to purchase over it.
I would, however do my research as always before commiting.

I agree; no one and nothing is perfect, but the severity of such imperfections/flaws is what I look at. Wasn’t bashing Firestone or Ford; I just prefer not to purchase their products as a personal preference.

What's the width on your rear F14's?

325/30
front 285 /35

This is def the reason

Just look at the uneven wear. Camber and toe prolly ****** up

Yeah,
No more dealer alignment, Taking it to my buddy race shop. He does only race car suspensions.

the dealer should give you a damn refund and new tires if they truly fk'd up your alignment

Did the dealer give you a sheet showing your alignment settings? Post it up...

Looks like your toe needs some adjustment, camber shouldn't do that. Also I ran those tires on another car and they were pretty solid.

For anyone concerned about them being Firestone's yall need to chill out because they're actually just rebranded Bridgestones RE760's or S04's or something

Saw that above. Curious as to your wheel width in the rear.

nope,
my fault forgot about asking for it

11 and the 325 fit better than 305, depending of the tire brand

If the ntt indycar series use firestone, , that enough good for me

Congrats on the new tires.

I do not get how people can call themselves enthusiasts - Oh I change the oil every 3k miles and I got that flame map and be gapping people at GappleBees all damn day! - and they never maintain one of the MAJOR COMPONENTS of the car --> The damn tires!

Dude, you're in rainy *** South Florida, driving around in a 300hp, RWD sports car - WITH NO TRACTION!

Stay safe out there and don't let this new set get like the last one.

:o
don't remind me, about bad tires and rain :tiphat:

:eek::facepalm:

For sure as I had 315 on my F14 11's and it had way more sidewall roll than your 325's. Thanks for sharing!
