Interesting that the Firestone dealer told you that the Firehawk's were not for light trucks. Here's the Firestone marketing copy for the Firehawk tire:

"Firestone’s participation in the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race represents one of the longest relationships in motor sports. When you combine all of the Indy 500 victories earned by Firestone at the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, you have rich tradition backed by a history of performance. The Firehawk INDY 500 is a Performance All-Season tire that was developed for the drivers of cars and light trucks that want to celebrate that tradition by combining Firehawk performance tires with the INDY 500 and “Wings and Wheel” logo of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway."

Are you sure he did not want to upsell you on his other brand -- Bridgestone?
