Some of the worst tires I've owned
I bought some ASv2s for the ES350 after owing three sets of the ASv1s on my Sentra. I thought they would be an improved tire even though they looked to different from the original. Wrong. They're worst in every way. So noisy I can't stand them on the street let alone the highway, comfort is not great due to vibrations, I've gotten them rebalanced multiple times with an alignment thinking that was the issue but it just goes down to the tire. I will not buy again not recommend them to anyone. Winter driving is average, not great but slightly better than a summer tire.

I couldn't believe how quick & easy the process was.
1. I went to the Simple Tire website and chose the right tire for my car & pocketbook.
2. I had my tires shipped to a local installer.
3. I placed my order on a Tuesday and by Friday my installed had received the tires via FedEX. No shipping charges!
4. My tires were mounted and balanced on Monday.
The tires I ordered, Firestone Firehawks, were the best quality no seconds or irregulars. The price was the same as what I spent for my GoodYears back in 2016.
I, being a senior woman, couldn't be happier with the performance of my Dodge Challenger! Now I can take those corners, over the limit, with ease.
As Madonna said, "Girls just wanna have fun!"
Thanks Simple Tire for letting me have some fun in my old age. I may be old, but I'm certainly not dead!
Bring it or should I say, "Eat my dust!" It is so exhilarating!

These tires are not bad on performance for the price BUT the noise generated from them is absurd. Sometimes unbearable. I find myself having to blast my stereo just to drown out the noise. My car is in immaculate running condition and the car gets an alignment every 3 months whether it needs it or not. I don't need wheel bearings either. It is a 2009 Cadillac CTS.
I could never recommend buying these tires to anyone. I will call Firestones corporate offices to file a complaint and request a refund or exchange. These tires are exactly 5 months old as I write this.

My tires I ordered from simple tires came quickly and have performed well so far. They provide a nice quiet ride, and corner well on dry and wet pavement. I haven't put a lot of miles on my new tires yet but I am happy with the performance thus far.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these tires. They have been very good to me, and I have had them for two years.
Not everyone's experience will be the same, but they work great for my Hyundai. Do well in snow!

An all-season, ultra-high-performance tire, Firestone's Firehawk A/S V2 is designed for use on sports cars and offers drivers sporty performance plus an up to 50,000 mile limited tread life warranty.
Features & Benefits
All-season tread
Black sidewall
50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty for H- and V-rated sizes, and 40,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty for W-rated sizes
Finding a set of tires that can perform year-round in any weather condition is a must for most drivers, and sports car drivers are no different. Fortunately, all-season, ultra-high-performance tires exist for the drivers who wants that year-round traction without sacrificing any performance, and the Firehawk A/S V2 from Firestone was built with these drivers in mind. Increased channels within the tread of the Firehawk A/S V2 remove water to help reduce the risk of hydroplaning, while full depth tread features allow for sporty performance throughout the life of the tire. Built to last, the Firehawk A/S V2 includes more biting edges than its predecessor to give drivers traction in snowy conditions.
