Tried Michelin PS4s and returned em for these Indy 500’s. Good wear and dry and wet traction. Won’t find a better bang for your buck for a street car imo. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rebranded Bridgestone tires - awesome *by D***. on July 14, 2021* love em.. grippy. look great. fitting took longer than I expected, but forgotten about that on the first corner.. did I mention grippy? don't buy these and then complain about tire wear. buy these to feel the g forces! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great street tire *by R***E on March 25, 2021* Bought these to add some more grip for my 86. They performed great, and the car feels completely different. If you’re coming from stock, you will find the ride to be a little less communicative than before, but overall the grip makes up for it. I took them to a local auto cross to test them out, and they took at least a few seconds off of my time than before. Highly recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 Ultra High Peformance Tire 215/45R17 91 W Extra Load - Genuine Engine Oil Filter 5038041AA - Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 Ultra-High Summer Peformance Tire 285/35R20 100 W --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/47839310-firestone-firehawk-indy-500-ultra-high-peformance-tire-215-45r17](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/47839310-firestone-firehawk-indy-500-ultra-high-peformance-tire-215-45r17) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
