In today's newspaper, Firestone has Indy 500 Firehawk tires on sale this month.
Buy 3 get 1 FREE. I have P255/60R15 102S RWL on my Vette. They handle very well in dry as well as in the rain. They also look GREAT. I feel these tires are a better alternative than the BFG TA's.
Here is the online link. http://www.firestonecompleteautocare.com/popup.jsp?image=4050

I used to sell tires many years ago. The "Buy 3, Get One Free" is nothing more than a standard 25% off sale...but designed to sell full sets of tires rather than pairs or singles. You get a good price, no question, but it's designed to move more tires and increase sales.
Nothing wrong with it...capitalism is what fuels our economy...not gov't spending (my little political rant for the day).
Some pretty good deals out there right now!
I've been real happy with my BFG's but still dream of getting a set of red lines in the future. I'll get there.
Sounds like everyone who has made the switch likes the Firestone Indy 500's.

Everyone should watch this ABC news report I linked below before jumping into a "GREAT DEAL" on tires, do you really know how old those tires are?
