I have them on my Nissan 350z. They feel great even with a heavy car.

I have them on mine. I think they are a good tire for the style and price. if I knew how rain averse I was going to be with this car I probably would have bought the 500s rather than the as.

Hard to forget the exploding Firestone 500 tires in the 70's. It almost put them out of business and they were forced to change there stores to sell other brands and offer other services like brakes, battery's, etc.

Very easy to forget if you were almost a toddler at the time. The Indy 500 tires produced 44 years later seem to be pretty good.
