It was getting old having to air up my tires everytime I went somewhere so I threw money at the problem. I ordered yesterday around 10am and they were at my door today around noon. So impressed for free shipping. I got 17x7.5 Sparco Terras with 225/45/17 firehawk Indy 500s. It’s going to be interesting keeping these clean, they came already slightly dirty just from handling at tire rack

Fronts on and old ones in the back.

A little bit of dirtiness

Enjoy the white wheels now while they are clean. Look away from them too long & they get dirty.

It will fit in with my black car getting dirty 2 miles after a wash. I must be slightly masochistic

The Firehawk is slowly becoming the official tire of Oppo it seems.

I went on a quick jaunt and I am already a huge fan. Didn’t even push the car but I can tell these will be miles better than the garbage euro tourers that I  had

Heck yeah, great combo. I tried to buy the Firestone tires a few years ago but nobody was selling locally and I didn’t want to get gouged on  a mount and balance. I might try Dunlop Derezas next on my Datsun Discount tire is much better up here than les swab.

This is my first set of actual summer tires, I have always gone the all season route with proper winter tires. Needless to say I’m very excited to put them to proper use. On my quick drive across town it was such a noticeable difference just in the stiffer sidewall and extra inch of tire width. The suspension seems to work much better now too without the give of the sidewall on the previous tires
