Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 Tires
The Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles. It has some touring sizes too. The silica-infused L.L. Carbon compound and the asymmetric tread design improve the dry and wet weather traction. The center circumferential Proprietary Pulse Grooves avoid hydroplaning by dispersing water from the footprint. This combination enables the tire to increase the summer weather road gripping capability.
The reinforced construction improves the high speed performing capability. The high-turnup polyester casing and the special twin high-tensile steel belt and nylon strengthened construction work together to enhance the high speed durability. This structure prevents the shape’s deformation under the high speed driving pressure affecting the model. The optimal shape enables the tire to perform at its utmost high speed ability.
The Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 increases the controllability. The ideal tire shape and the optimizes tread pattern work together to improve the steering responsiveness and accuracy and the driving stability. The wider shoulder tread block placement improves the cornering capability, by increasing the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The special compound and detailed tread design upgrade the braking ability as they create friction between the tire and the road surface, shortening the usability and tread life. This combination enables the driver’s full control over the vehicle in summer weather conditions.
