Firestone 12054 Firehawk Indy 500 225/50R17 94W Ultra High Performance Summer Tire

The Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 is an ultra high performance summer tire developed for drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes and performance sedans looking to maximize driving enjoyment through racing-inspired technology. Inspired by Firestone's racing heritage, this tire features a new tread design with proprietary Pulse Groove water channel technology that dramatically improves handling and braking on wet roads.

Key Performance Features:

• 20% shorter stopping distance on wet roads compared to the prior generation Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500
• High-performance, silica-enhanced Long Link Carbon tread compound for enhanced grip
• Wide shoulder blocks that increase tire stiffness to provide dynamic cornering confidence
• Proprietary Pulse Groove channel in the tread pattern improves water evacuation and reduces hydroplaning risk
• Aggressive asymmetric tread design with large independent shoulder blocks for improved dry handling

The Firehawk Indy 500 is designed to deliver impressive performance in wet and dry conditions, though like all summer tires, it is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. This tire combines race-proven technology with everyday drivability for enthusiasts seeking extreme performance and driving enjoyment.
