Built to offer reliable handling and impressive controllability in dry and wet conditions, the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 is one of the best ultra-high-performance summer tires on the market suitable for use in warmer weather conditions, in temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. An ideal choice for performance seekers and racing aspirants, the Firehawk Indy 500 features wider shoulders that increase the tire’s stiffness to offer excellent cornering confidence to the drivers. While the Pulse Groove Channel in the tread pattern ensures water evacuation for reduced risk of hydroplaning and improved wet handling, the improved rubber compound and optimized tread pattern reduce the stopping distance of the tire on wet roads by up to 20% than its prior generation Firestone Wide Oval Indy 500 tire.
