Default not sure how much the Runflat Firehawk SZ50 has in common with the regular tire, but

on the runflats, they had very good grip, provided a smooth ride with low tire noise, and were great in dry and wet. The treadlife was on the poor side though. (This is on my '99 Corvette Convertible)

Default that was a short putt...

I have to admit that the "Ford Exploder" debacle always comes to mind the minute I hear the name Firestone.

Still, I wish that some of the American tire cos would get their act together. They all make at least one good tire, I guess.
