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?
Yeah. First off the tires look real good on there. Form my next set I am going with fire hawks on front and Hoosier or Mt on the rear. I think they said something about the load rating on the Tahoe and we do tow with it. I still think they fed us some bs but we have Firestone destination LE's on it now and they are a nice tire. We got 90,000+ miles on the factory original Firestone Wilderness Le's before the right rear tire broke a belt. It kind of stunk because they still had some nice tread left.
