So after I FINALLY decide I like the look of the BFG's, 4 tires installed $625, I get all these folks who LOVE the Firestones.

I havent seen the Firestones except for pictures so I will get a better look at em before I pull the trigger on this deal.

May I ask why those who choose Firestones did so? Look, Cost, ratings, ect?


[/QUOTE] John go on Tirerack.com and you can do a comparision on all tires that will fit your car.
After I did that it was a no-brainer. The Indy500 tops the chart and is a great price.
I put them on my car on a Thursday and ran it balls out at the Glen on Sunday they held real nice....ebo woman made more noise than the tireLOL
Great ride and the look grows on you. I have not heard any complaints from any member here that has them.
Sarge81 is the one that had a problem with new Goodyears on wet roads, he almost wraped up his car on an exit ramp and took them off right away.
Check out Tire Rack.....good luck.

I had the same feelin about the look, but I dig it now!
Good choice........and When BF Goodrich sold off the tire line to become Goodrich Aerospace...they sold the line and name to Michlin......

Steve, I am going white letters out. The 73 has black walls out and this way I will have one of each.

The letters are what I liked about the BFG's and Goodyears.

We will sure know more about this time next week!!!!
