While the Firehawk 500 is a decent tire, it is listed as a ultra high performance summer only by the manufacture. Those uses and descriptions are set by the manufacture and are not standardized by the industry at all, same as the treadwear rating system.

The OP is asking about a ultra high performance summer only tire and a ultra high performance all season, two completely different uses which if really dependent on where a person lives.

Bang for the buck the Firehawk is a decent tire, the Michelin Pilot 4s or Continental Extreme Contact are the better summer only tires. Then the Michelin Pilot A/S3 or the Continental DWS06 are the best all season tires currently on the market.

I am on my second set of Conti DWS06 on the wife's Audi SQ5, for a 43xxlb SUV that has around 450hp those tires do really well in all conditions. I have the Michelin Pilot 4s on my 1LE and so far they are as good on street use as the stock GY F1 Supercar Gen3 tires that came on the 1LE.

Op is gonna have to decide first what kind of tire they want, all season or summer only. Then people can really recommend from there.
