If you pay 40.00 more you'll get them in 3 days

8uwith6 here works at Firestone. He was trying to get the rears local , but another store wouldn't give them up, it was scheduled 2 weeks out. Paid extra to get them here ASAP

Put them on yesterday

eBay also sells them for 143.00 each, you don't get a warranty though, like road hazard... Since the tires are short on hand, your gonna have to wait

I run Firestones on the front on my black marauder too


I'll ask tonight why those tires are not in stock or at major hubs

His 2 marauders run those tires too :)

They are on back order. Check all stores near you

Tires plus? Do you have a main Firestone hub?

I have them, factory sizes, and I love them. Very happy with them. I went straight to the Firestone store and got them. The front are wearing very nicely and the rears are ok if I would keep my foot out of the throttle lol. But they are a great all season tire. I don't drive mine in the winter tho. Have had mine for two years now and I do alot of traveling in my Merc.

I believe Zack had them on Blue also. Maybe he can chime in also.

I got tires off of ebay last time around, and they were at my door the next day. I have those up front in stock size the last 50K miles and still have 50% left but about to replace them due to weather cracking. Rears burned up in half those miles. They were stable around corners and kept me safe in all weather.

I have them, bought them when they first came out. Quiet, great in rain, good in snow and did handle nicely.

I have been happy with all variations of the Firehawks on other vehicles.

Seems like for OEM replacement sizes, everyone is happy with the Firehawks, Coopers and Nittos. The BFGs are generally hated on tho.
