New Rear Tire from Firestone
Has anyone here tried the new Firestone Firehawk in 245/55R18?
It is W speed rated for 168 MPH. TireRack.com has them listed for less than $200 each. Jim

HHmmmm nice looking tires, had a set of firestone all season on my girlfriends van once and she went through the set in one year. Did alot on curvy backroad driving every day to college. If my Nitto NT850's ever wear down on me I may go with these.

I think I'll stick with my Nitto 420s and 555s in the front.
Cost and performance for these tires seem to be just right for me. But best of all my Rauder seems to like these tires with the Traction Control...... I wish I could just rip it out so I can run the same size tires all around.

I just installed Nitto NT555's. Fronts are 255/45-18 and rears are 265/50-18. I love these tires and the grip is much better than the stock BFG's.

Older thread but I just put these on, they just started making the rears for our cars I guess. They look great and seem to ride nicely. Bridgestone is running a special now too, buy 3 get 1 free.
