The Firehawk Indy 500 from Firestone is an ultra-high-performance tire that's designed for use on sports cars and offers drivers more control on wet roads.
Features & Benefits
- Tread is designed for use in warmer weather
- Black sidewall
- Features Firestone's Pulse Groove Technology that removes water from the road for added hydroplaning resistance
Warmer weather often means its time to hit the open road for most drivers, and sports car drivers are no exception to this. While these drivers might be itching for a wide-open highway, they do need to make sure that their tires are flexible enough to perform in warmer weather while also meeting the high-performance demands of their ride. Consider the Firehawk Indy 500 from Firestone, which features a special rubber compound and tread design that helps drivers stop up to 20% shorter on wet roads. The Firehawk Indy 500 features a new tread compound and wide shoulder blocks to strengthen handling and turning performance on dry roads, and a bold design that's sure to accent many of today's top sports cars.
Summer tires are designed for use in warmer weather or in areas where the temperatures does not drop below 40 degrees. These tires are ideal for ue in warm, dry, and wet conditions that are common in the summertime. | |
Passenger tires are some of the most common tires you'll find on the roads today, and frequently used on coupes, sedans, hatchbacks, minivans, and other passenger vehicles. Passenger tires are available in a wide variety of types, such as all-season, winter, and ultra-high-performance. | |
This product is not covered by a manufacturer’s treadlife warranty. | |
Maximum speed capability to safely carry a load for an extended period of time. | |
The maximum load carrying strength at the specified inflation pressure, also known as ply rating | |
The maximum carrying capacity for a tire determined by the manufacturer | |
Standards that measure treadwear, temperature resistance and traction, example: "640 A A". The 640 is the treadwear test and it lasted 6.4 times longer than the comparison tire tested against. The first "A" is the traction rating using straight-line wet traction on test surfaces (see information tables tab) and the second "A" is the temperature rating by testing operation at high speeds without heat-related failure (see information tables tab) | |
The side of the tire between the tread and rim, with cosmetic branding as well as information about the tire including manufacturer, model, size, etc. | |
An identifier of a particular tire line and size combination assigned by the tire manufacturer. | |
The highest inflation pressure (measured in pounds of force per square inch, PSI) the tire is designed to contain, and should only be used when called for by the vehicle placard | |
Measured in 32nds of an inch, this metric shows how much tread life is left on a tire, with the tire's traction & stopping capabilities greatly diminished at 4/32nds and less. Tire manufacturers include "tire wear bars" at 2/32nds to indicate when your tire is worn out | |
The range of widths the rim of the vehicle can be for this tire to be safely mounted on | |
The measurement of width from a tires inner sidewall to the outer sidewall | |
The diameter of a tire that is inflated without any load applied |
