The Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The high grip summer compound and the optimal tread design enhance the dry and wet weather road gripping ability. The groove pattern actively avoids hydroplaning by eliminating water from below the footprint. This combination enables the tire’s safer summer weather performing capability.
The optimal compound and the tread design also manage to elongate the usability. The compound slows the tread wear rate down with the wear-resistant rubber materials. The tread elements ensure even pressure distribution along the tread area, which prevents irregular tread wear formations. The decreased wear rate and guaranteed even wear promote a longer lasting tread and service life.
The Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 offers a secure high speed controllability. The maintained road contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The larger shoulder tread block placement improves the cornering and maneuvering ability by increasing the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The stronger twin steel belt internal structure keeps the ideal tire shape under the high speed driving pressure affecting it, which enables the model’s safer high speed durability.
