I've been doing quite a bit of research on tires recently. Read a bunch of reviews on forums and on youtube.
The Firehawk Indy 500s caught my attention so I started doing some homework and found nothing but great reviews. There's not many of them but nothing negative. Bridgestone has owned Firestone since 1988 and these tires have only been out for about a year. They are essentially rebranded Bridgestone re003. Well, I finally had a chance to mount them on and drive around on them for the past two days. The experience has been AMAZING  Excellent turn-in and steering feel. It's a lot smoother and quieter than I expected them to be for a summer tire. I have really enjoyed these tires and I highly recommend them. For the price, I really don't think there's anything better.

I'm planning to also get a set of these.
Mpss just don't last long and it's pricey. Ive heard so many positive reviews about the firehawk. They cost less and last much longer |

I've had these tires on for about 4 months now and I really like them. They aren't the stickiest tires, but for the money, I don't think they can be beat. I'm super satisfied with them. Only downside really is I find they are terrible in the rain. That's probably more to do with where I live though, roads get more slick than normal in Vegas when it rains. Overall, half the price of MPSS with decent performance. I wasn't too fond of the MPSS when I had my FBO 135i anyways, I always seemed to break them loose.
