Trying to find a leak in my one tire.

Found the problem.

Being close the the side wall, it can’t be filled or patched. So I guess new tires then.

Firehawks?

Most likely, I planned on getting them in a month. So I guess I’ll get them earlier. How are yours treating youm

Had Firehawk GTs on my wife’s Mazda6. Great overall tire, but be sure to have them rotated regularly and not just front-to-back to avoid feathering or cupping. Admittedly my wife can be a bit of an aggressive driver, but it’s good general advice nonetheless.

Firehawk Indy 500's not GT’s.

Also good! I didn’t realize Firestone still made the Indy 500. I worked for them years ago and it seemed an old tread design then. Why the Indy 500 instead of the Firehawk AS?

*EDIT* I went on Firestone’s site. Looks like the Indy 5oo became a summer-only tire, probably when they introduced the Firehawk AS.

The *new* Indy 500 is rebranded Bridgestone Potenza RE003, that’s a great rating tire. The rest of the world gets the RE003, North America gets the Indy 500.

Haven’t pushed them super hard yet, but so far they’re great. It’s nice having grip again when the road is damp, lol.
