About This Tire

The Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 235/45R17 is a summer tire designed for sports car, sporty coupe, and performance sedan drivers who prioritize handling precision and wet weather confidence in spirited driving. Its tread design and compound focus on maximizing dry cornering grip while maintaining strong water evacuation capabilities through specialized groove technology.

The tire features a silica-enhanced Long Link Carbon tread compound molded into an asymmetric pattern with large independent shoulder blocks for improved cornering stability. Proprietary Pulse Groove Technology in the center circumferential groove works alongside two additional grooves to enhance water evacuation and reduce stopping distances in wet conditions. Driver feedback points to excellent dry performance with strong wet traction, delivering good comfort levels and solid treadwear characteristics for an ultra-high performance summer tire.

Compared to touring-focused tires, it emphasizes maximum grip and responsive handling over long-term comfort and tread life. Overall, it's a solid choice for performance vehicles used primarily for enthusiastic street driving and occasional track events in warm weather conditions.
