Firestone wide oval tires
thehanz DVK:
i like the looks of it yeah, but when the traction and handeling in the wet is that bad, i will really reconsider....there will be an engine in the car with around 200HP so yes i want some traction....

rebel:
Sorry to take this topic out, but I really like the looks of theese tyres (wide ovals), but I have serious doubts about handling and traction.
Could anybody, who used them tell honestly how does it feel to have them on?
How does a bug behave on street and strip with them?
I mean: They look super cool, but are they really worth anything comparing to the more modern ones like contemporary Good Years, or Pirellis?
JS:
I can only speak for the M/T Indy Profile F70-15 wich is also a classic musclecar tire.
Looks awesome IMO, but may very well be the worst tire I have ever driven in wet conditions. Absolutely lethal!
Tobi/DFL:
Iīm running F70-15 wide ovals on my ovalwindow and donīt have the best experiences as well. A week ago I took the car for a spin because I wanted to check the jetting with a LM-1. That meant I had to rev it up to see if everything is okay. So I revved it to 7760rpm in second gear and shifted into third on a very flat and dry street when suddenly the rear wheels lost grip and the car went sideways. For that reason I will never ever do that on a country road again!;-)
As lonmg as you are cruising everything is fine but you must be careful in turns. Iīve never driven those tires in the rain but I guess itīs dangerous!
Bye,
Tobi
