• Wide shoulders that increase the tire's stiffness to provide dynamic cornering and confident handling
• High-performance silica-enhanced Long Link Carbon tread rubber compound molded into an aggressive-looking asymmetric tread design featuring large independent shoulder blocks
• Center circumferential groove features proprietary Pulse Groove Technology to enhance water evacuation and provide shorter stopping distances in the wet

• 99W load index and speed rating (up to 168 mph), with UTQG rating of 340 A A

Like all summer tires, the Firehawk Indy 500 is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow, or on ice. This tire is designed for drivers seeking maximum performance in warm weather conditions who value sharp handling, confident grip at speed, and superior wet weather traction.
