Bridgestone HP50 Warning

The HP50 is the renamed Firestone Firehawk. THEY S()CK. My friend has them on his 4th gen and they don't grip for ****. I work at NTB and wouldn't sell them to anyone with a family. My boss hates it but I don't want something like that to hang over my head.

HMmm....interesting. I've had the Firehawk's on my Max for about 8,000 miles now and they grip great, a lot better than the Yokohama's I had on there before. I don't know where you get your experience from,

I just looked at your profile. If you are talking they suck in snow then you are right, because they are a summer and rain tire only.

do you juss hate them or is there a reason for it? Bridgestone got some of the best tires in the market, in terms of handling/grip. Not sure but prolly the biggest Tire manufacter also.

so-3 Re-730 so-2 and im sure firestone shares some of the tire technology the brigestone hi-perforamnce ones use. too bad tread wear sucks....especially if you tend to be an angry driver.
