Anyone have any feedback on that tire? I had planned to run Firehawk Indy 500 summer tires in that size. But hard to pass up $95 instead of $170I have these in a 245/45 20 and the ride is firmer than I'm used to. I have a PP so I don't really want a firmer ride but the tire is over-all responsive with turn in, and grip is there when pushed in the corners. I have no idea what bad weather conditions are like since I try not to drive it in snow or rain.My concern with these is if you're looking for a 40 series (like these listed) they would be too firm. Especially when they wear half way, you'd probably want to replace them early; which negates your savings and longevity.They also want to "track" on concrete and follow the grooves which can get annoying. On asphalt they are great and really pretty quiet in general (no pun).I'd go for the Indy's. I've heard great things about these and wish I'd gotten them. If you need all season though, maybe step up to a 45 series in these?Next time you need tires, go with a 255/45/20 as that should help it ride a touch better. I agree, the 255 was a welcome improvement over the wearing Michelin's that came on it. Much better ride and it's not a PP, you guys with a PP must feel like your rolling down the road in my leaf sprung one ton truck.Mine does not feel like that. Least not anymore since I removed the H&R's and went back to stock springs.

Quote from: Macgyver on August 19, 2018, 07:43:02 PMAll four shipped. We shall see if they are for real.Not gonna install right away. I want to burn up the OEMs more and have super fresh new tires for the winter.
