Firehawk Indy 500 V2

[R5Mk2]

Anyone tried the new Indy 500 V2 tires yet? I am getting a set installed on my Dekagrams next weekend to replace my ancient BFG Comp 2s

I nearly bought a set a few weeks back, but decided to try the Kumho Ecsta Sport. From what I could tell, the V2 makes some small improvements on the original tire in pretty much every aspect, which is a good thing. I'm sure you'll enjoy them quite a lot.

I did find it odd they only come with 8/32nd tread new. Surely this is for reduced tread squirm and better response, but it's gotta hurt treadlife a bit given that everyone else in that ~300TW space is 9/32nd or more.

Only had em for a day now but I like them a lot so far. Yea I didn't notice that tread life thing until after I saw them in person...oh well

what size tire did you put on it? I have 16x8 dekagrams and was going to get the 205/50/16 version

I went with 205/45/16 as that’s the same size I had already and I’m lowered so I don’t want to deal with potential rubbing

I have a set in 205/45/16r and was able to do 50 miles at the Nurburgring to "break them in" if you will. lol they are super grippy and the tread life looks like its on track to last a while. i had the v1s and was able to drive from NY to LA and back 3 times on top of daily driving them for nearly 2 1/2 years.


This was taken after the track day and about 350 miles total on them. still had remnant's of the sticker even
