Firehawk Wide Ovals

[markmark]

Alright 6 Shooter. You have had time to form an opinion. Were the Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals a wise choice? Does anyone else run these on their C5? If so, Are you happy with them. Please don't shoot me for not making this a pm Jane-Ann :L

Why? Other car?

 

[Derek]

I think the shape is wrong ,they wear on the outside edges, I run with high pressures to compensate, 48psi which gives a hard ride.

Car is a holden statsman,like the police are going to use over in the US.

I run Yokohama on the C4 seem to be perfect

I've got them on my Z16 and couldn't be happier!! I've got a friend wh has almost 40K miles on his (on a high milage 1998) and raves about them. In my opinion, they are MUCH better than the original Goodyears.

My cousin ran them on his 99 coupe when he had it and didn't have any complaints.

I love them on my 2000 vert.

Tire Rack is showing them as an Indy 500 version which is a different tread pattern than the FFWO. They are advertised as FFWO Indy 500's. Heeeeelp meeeee! I'm so skeptical with major purchases:ugh

Yeah it had really strange aftermarket wheels and runflats; rode really rough.

I have them on my '03 Z06 and they are great--especially for the price. Had Toyo T-1's before, which were also great and these ar just as good in the wet and dry.

Runflats were offered as a option starting in 94. I had them on my 95
