Firestone 12530 Firehawk Indy 500 225/45R19 96W XL 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 who want to maximize sport driving pleasure through racing-inspired technology. These ultra-high performance summer tires deliver impressive handling and cornering in dry conditions, while the Proprietary Pulse Groove™ technology helps prevent hydroplaning on wet surfaces.

Key Features:

• Proprietary Pulse Groove Technology in the center circumferential groove enhances water evacuation and provides shorter stopping distances in the wet
• Wide shoulders that increase the tire's stiffness to provide dynamic cornering
• Internal structure features high-turnup polyester casing, twin high-tensile steel belts, and nylon reinforcement that maintain the tire's optimal shape under high-speed driving pressure
