I’m thinking of buying a set of Firestone firehawk Indy 500 size 205 55 16. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them?

I just put those tires on my 308 and am really pleased. As sticky as pilot sports for way less money. Maybe a touch noisier if anything. Assuming your car can fit that size, they’ve got a great performance to value ratio.

I presently have out of date 205-55-16 Raptors which came with my wheels. They fit after just a slight fender roll on the rear driver side. I am aware that some tires seem to be wider than others and the Raptors although a tight fit work.

Firehawk Indy 500 are one of the best tires out there regardless of price

I have the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 in 195/55-16 and have been very pleased with them.
