Firestone Launches the Firehawk Indy 500 V2

American tire manufacturer Firestone, now under the Bridgestone umbrella, has introduced its latest ultra-high-performance summer tire designed for sports cars and muscle cars alike: the Firehawk Indy 500 V2.

Offered at an affordable price point, this tire draws direct inspiration from Firestone’s racing tires, delivering sporty grip and precise steering, whether on the road or on a road course.

The Firehawk Indy 500 V2 stands out thanks to its interconnected tread blocks and advanced grooves that help evacuate water efficiently. It also benefits from Bridgestone’s ENLITEN technology. The tire is available in 38 sizes, fitting wheel diameters from 16 to 20 inches, with aspect ratios ranging from 55 to 30.
