I almost got some yesterday. I'm having a hard time buying them though because I'm afraid they will just not hold my power at all where at least the Conti and PSS do. I think it's because of the price that makes me nervous lol

Where were you going to get them from? Tire rack shows the fronts are not available till 5/30 and the local Firestone dealers can’t get them either.

Finally got them installed today. Had to get the front ones from Simple Tire and the dot date was 0218! Brand new! Funny part is the Firestone shop wouldn’t mount them because they were afraid of scratching my wheels. I can’t believe they don’t have the touch less mounting machine. I had my local mechanic mount and balance. So far I love them on the street! Waaay quieter than the oe F1’s and hold the road on circular on ramps! I just hope I get good treadwear from them! Time will tell!

IMO, they are some sweet looking tires. Can't go wrong for the price.

I’ve had these tires for a while now they are decent, improves ride quality, traction is ok but not great. Not really a fan of these tires but price wise you can't get anything better than this.

Exactly the way I feel about them...not a huge fan, but what can you get for the money that's better? If you find something, let me know. I'll do the same.

General G-Max RS. Tested better on Tirerack than the Firehawks, although they are a pretty new tire, that's why they weren't available early last year.

OP, any new updates since December 17? Have they continued to improve? Thinking about buying these to replace the stock tires. Similar to you, I DD my car with the occasional autocross. Thanks! |

Well at least i'm not the only one appreciating the Goodyears! I just put the General AS-05's on and feel the same handling body/tire roll you're speaking of. There's definitely a reason GM put the runflats on and it shows with these other tires.
I didn't like the stiff sidewalls at first on the AS'3's but sure do appreciate them now, the car just felt so much more solid, planted and flat through turns and handling in general. And yes now sport mode feels like Touring mode... It'll be interesting to see how these do on the track.... @kropscamaro16 so do the PS4's react similarly to the stiff Goodyears? |

They did continue to improve and get better as they broke in. More miles produced a bit more stiffness, and less float. If I had more time for the track, I'd get a second set and shave them. My first set hit the wear bars at 18K. Pretty impressive tread life considering how hard I drive (I got about 12-13k out of the OEM Goodyears). I don't do burnouts or donuts, but I tend to push pretty hard and regular Canyon Runs always produce between .89-1.01G. So I was happy with the life of the tire. Also, I consistently run a little less pressure. Firestone recommends 35 in the rear, 32 upfront. I've been running 31-32 in the front, and 34 in the rear. They're still not Michelin's. PSS' are the best tires I've driven, but Michelin's are about $1400 for the set, tires only. I just got a set of Firehawk's here in LA from "Tires Buy Mark" for $790 mounted and balanced, out the door...and I have another $60 rebate coming from Firestone. After all is said and done - I definitely recommend these tires for the money. They are - after all, just a re-branded Bridgestone RE003... They've gone up to a B+ (even A-) for me simply because of their improved performance, versatility and durability. Enjoy. Ps. They will take getting used to from the stock tire...
