Firestone Firehawk Indy Ultra High Performance Tire

The Firestone Firehawk Indy line is an ultra high performance summer tire (UHP summer performance tire). It is built for drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes and performance sedans. The design draws on Firestone's IndyCar racing heritage. It aims to give sharp steering response and strong grip on the street, and it can also handle occasional track days.

Key Features:

• Summer performance compound: The silica-enhanced tread compound is meant to give consistent grip and traction during spirited driving.
• Asymmetric tread design: The pattern is designed to improve contact pressure, cornering stability and steering response.
• Connecting tread blocks: The blocks are built for rapid responsiveness and stable handling in corners.
• Rain pulse groove technology: Revised circumferential grooves and rain-focused grooves help channel water away from the tread. This is intended to reduce hydroplaning risk and improve wet braking.
• Reinforced construction: A polyester casing, twin steel belts and a nylon reinforcement layer support stable handling and high-speed capability.
• ENLITEN technology: The tire uses components from Bridgestone's ENLITEN technology suite. These are designed to support long-lasting performance and fuel efficiency.

This line is a summer-only tire. It is not designed for snow or ice use. It is available in multiple sizes, with load index and speed rating varying by size. Choose the variant that matches your wheel and size requirements.
